"The last time I had such short length hair was when I was seven years old. So when dad saw my pictures with short hair, he thought I am wearing a wig. He asked me if it is for real, and I said ‘yes'. His instant reaction was a little dry, but when people started telling him that I am looking cute in short hair, he was happy," the Vicky Donor actress said with a giggle.
In her latest film release Batti Gul Meter Chalu, Yami plays a lawyer. She says her hairdresser had a tough time to create her look for the film.
"I really took time to get ready because of my short hair. I had already started shooting for Uri before Batti Gul Meter Chalu, and my look in these two films are completely different. My hairdresser had a nightmare to create that long braid look with such short hair length. I really thank them," the actress said.
Batti Gul Meter Chalu featuring Shahid Kapoor, Shraddha Kapoor and Yami, released on Friday.
