As the festive fragrance of shiuli blooms and the soulful rhythm of Agomoni creeps into city air, fashionistas across the country are already curating their Puja-perfect wardrobes. This season, however, the buzz isn’t just about brocade borders or handloom drapes—it’s about hair. Making an unapologetically bold move, actress Lohoma Bhattacharya is turning heads with her long, wavy tresses dipped in shades of cotton-candy pink and electric blue. Forget the demure flower buns—this Puja, it’s all about power hair.

In a world saturated with Indo-western hybrids and predictable ethnic edits, Lohoma stays rooted in her love for sarees. But with a twist. “Pairing a traditional silk with funky, neon-highlighted hair? Why not!” she laughs, effortlessly blending vintage charm with Gen Z audacity. The look first debuted in Arindam Sil’s upcoming film Karpoor, but has since taken on a life of its own. “Honestly, I never thought I’d wear my hair like this,” she admits. “But the response? Overwhelming. So many girls have told me they’ve done it too—and owned it with confidence.”

Confidence—that’s the accessory you can't shop for, and Lohoma knows it. “It’s everything,” she says. She cites Swastika Mukherjee as a style inspiration, someone who redefines versatility with every appearance. “No matter what she wears, it’s the attitude that does the talking. That’s the goal.” Her advice? Keep the routine simple but intentional: cleanse well, condition right, and let your hair breathe. “With this hair, you don’t need layers of makeup or ornate jewelry. Just a crisp white shirt, distressed denim, and you’re already a scene-stealer.”

What’s refreshing is Lohoma’s zero-pretence aesthetic. For her, fashion is emotional. Sarees are heirlooms—gifts from her mother, woven with memory. “I’ve become more selective. I love chikankari, soft chiffons, and vintage silks with detailed borders,” she reveals. But even when she drapes tradition, she adds a hint of the unexpected—like a twisted bun or metallic nails—to modernize the moment.

So, as you prep your festive fits and schedule your salon appointments, take a cue from Lohoma: style begins where comfort ends and confidence takes over. Whether it’s a statement saree or sherbet-dipped hair, wear it like you own the room. Because this Puja, bold is not just beautiful—it’s the vibe.
