Sonam Kapoor donates hair to charity

Sonam took to Instagram on Monday and shared the video, with a caption, “Decided to cut off 12 inches off my hair and give it away! @peteburkill thanks @anilskapoor for the genes”

In the video, a smiling Sonam can be seen sitting in a salon chair. She says, “Hi everyone, so I decided to cut 12 inches of my hair,” holding up the freshly cut strands. It doesn’t seem like much on video, but it’s literally a foot of hair!”

True to her playful spirit, she credits her luscious hair to her genes, specifically, her dad, Anil Kapoor. “My hair becomes really long because of my genetics… i.e. Anil Kapoor,” she said with a laugh.

Sonam revealed that this gesture had been on her mind for a while, and she finally felt it was the right time to part with some length and do something that could make a difference. Her longtime hairstylist, Pete Burkill, handled the cut with care, giving Sonam a “fresh and happy” look for the summer.
