Let Your Hair Down

Had it not been for the Anna fever gripping the Capital,hair-stylist Adhuna Bhabani Akhtar might have looked cheerful at the launch of b:blunt,her first salon in the city.

Had it not been for the Anna fever gripping the Capital,hair-stylist Adhuna Bhabani Akhtar might have looked cheerful at the launch of b:blunt,her first salon in the city. Located in M block market,Greater Kailash 2,the Friday evening launch was a rather low-key affair,even though actor Arjun Rampal inaugurated it.

Wife of actor-director-singer,Farhan Akhtar,it was 10 years ago that Adhunas genius reflected in Bollywood through Dil Chahta Hai (DCH) and changed the way hair-stylists were perceived. I was new to the business and DCH opened up many avenues for me. Also,Bollywood started giving more importance to detailing, she said.

But it was in 2004,when along with brother Osh Bhabani,Adhuna opened the first b:blunt outlet in Mumbai. Ive wanted to open a branch in Delhi for a while but things never really worked out. Osh will be handling this place for a few months and Ill come as and when possible, said Adhuna,who sported a trendy feather neck-piece with a crisp white shirt. Minimal design,long and oval mirrors,and fake red chillies on the walls,the b:blunt studio also boasts of a Blow out Bar a pit stop for ladies before a night out.

Even with a number of Bollywood A-listers as her clients,films such as Don 2 and Reema Kagtis next in the kitty,and a b:blunt academy,Adhuna seems to have taken a back seat. Im the working Mamma. The team takes care of the work bit, she said.
