Kareena to cut hair

Having been designated a style icon, Kareena Kapoor now intends to go on a long shopping binge in various fashion capitals and also cut her hair.

“I have to…I’ve no choice. I’m looked at as a fashion statement. Very tiring, but flattering. Dress designer Aki Narula has set impossible standards of fashion for me through my films. Now I’ve no choice but to live up to those standards. I’ve raised the bar for fashion,”said Kareena.

“After ‘Kambakkht Ishq’, in ‘Qurbaan’ Aki has again made me look so special,” added the actress who gives the credit for her ‘Kambakkht…” look to Aki.

“Nowadays when I go abroad, I find myself spending more time in shops than holidaying. It’s a responsibility. And I do need to be chic all the time. But my being a fashion icon also depends on my attitude and mood of the moment,” said the actress.

Asked if has she shifted loyalties from dress designer Manish Malhotra to Aki, she said: “No. I love Aki’s work and plan to use his clothes very often. But Manish and I go back a long way. He dressed up my sister to stardom and then me. We’re not the kind of people who move on in our friendships.
