Kiara Advani chops off her long, lustrous hair in VIRAL video, shocked fans ask if it's a publicity stuntApril 30 (AZINS) On Tuesday afternoon, Kiara Advani shared a strange video on her official Instagram account. In the now viral clip, the 26-year-old actress is seen brutally chopping off her long, beautiful tresses. The video begins with Kiara rapping about her busy lifestyle and how she isn't able to follow her mother's desi nuske for hair care.

She captioned the video: "Guilty as charged!!! Just had to chop it off, been neglecting proper hair care for too long and thought this was the only solution." Her Instagram post understandably left her followers shocked. They filled her comments section with questions like "Did you really cut your hair?" and "Is this for real".

A few disappointed ones reviewed her new look as 'Vahiyat' and wrote, "Pagla gai he kaa. Baavri ho gai he tu. Kitne ache baal the. Satyanaash kr diya" and "Kal hi ispe crush aaya tha aur aaj isne aisa kr liya."

While her ardent fans gave her new summer look a thumbs up, there were also those who labelled this as a publicity stunt. Some even speculated that what she cut were not her real hair but just extensions.

Explaining the reason behind the sudden urge to cut her hair, Kiara told news agency IANS: "I just couldn't deal with it anymore, which is why I decided to take matters in my own hands and chopped it off. Let's see if the new look catches on."

The 'Lust Stories' actress added, "I love my hair. Who doesn't, but the constant heat and product that goes into styling my hair for shoot and with my busy schedule I've got no time to take care of my hair."
