In the clip, she was heard saying: 'Hi everyone, so I decided to cut 12 inches of my hair. It doesn't seem that much on this video, but it's a foot of hair. My hair has become really long because of my genetics, i.e. Anil Kapoor.'
She added: 'I have very long hair and thick hair. And I just felt it was time to kind of chop a lot of it off and give it away to charity. And my hair stylist, Pete, who has been doing my hair and has been taking care of my hair for the last couple of years, and I decided to cut a lot of it off.
It's still really long hair, but I'm very happy and refreshed for the summer. Lots of love!'

'It honestly feels like it happened just yesterday. I'm so touched that people still love the song... it really means a lot!' said the actress.
Speaking about 'Abhi Toh Party Shuru Hui Hai', which featured in the 2014 film 'Khoobsurat', the actress shared that it has always been one of his favourite songs.
'This has always been one of my favourite songs from my career—and it still makes it to my dance playlist!' Sonam said.
She added: 'I remember letting my hair down and just having the best time shooting the music video. It brings me so much joy to see that the song continues to be a popular party anthem even today.'
