How Shah Rukh Khan’s Mohabbatein Hairstyle Was Created

Dilshad Pastakia was the hairstylist who worked on Shah Rukh Khan’s famous look in Mohabbatein.

Gauri Khan introduced Pastakia to him.

At first, Shah Rukh was careful because some earlier hairstyling experiences had not gone well.

Gauri encouraged Pastakia to follow her own ideas.

Pastakia studied Shah Rukh’s hair, face and head shape.

She created a hairstyle that suited his role in the film.

Gauri liked the result and praised it.

Another hairstylist, Ayush Manocha, explained that hair can change how people see an actor.

He said hairstyles should help audiences understand a character and the story.
