Aamir Khan as the sassy Sonia has definitely hit headlines. But only a few know that the one to create that look is none other than Khan's hairstylist Avan Contractor who transformed him into a beautiful woman. According to sources Avan worked painstakingly with her team to create various wigs to perfect length for `Sonia'. When contacted Avan said, "As per the brief, I had to make Aamir look like a slightly older woman yet modern…somewhat like a hip aunty! The idea was to have a good balance of making him look feminine yet not make him unrecognizable.
We decided to work with shoulder length hair with some layers and a ling side fringe to add softness and the hair colour was a blend of a brown and a slightly lighter brown with a few scattered greys to give it a very natural and soft look. He loved it and so did the director and the agency."
Interestingly this is not for the first time that Aamir Khan has taken a woman' s
avatar. It may be recalled that the actor had turned a sassy lady for
Baazi (1995). He had gracefully done a dance number in that get up.
