Fashion in the Bollywood industry often changes with time. In the 70s, 80s, and 90s, a common trend was big buns, churidar suits, and dark kajal. From Madhubala, Mumtaz, Sharmila Tagore to Meena Kumari, Nanda, and more, all these actresses are not only known for their power-packed performances but also their looks. Similarly, there was an actress in Bollywood who was known for her Sadhana cut. After this actress, a trend started in the industry with every actress going for the same haircut. The actress who started it had shared screen space with many big actors such as Sanjay Dutt and more. If you have heard about the Sadhana cut, then you must know that the name has been given after the actress Sadhana Shivdasani. The actress had a unique sense of fashion and she eventually became the trendsetter for the Sadhana cut. Sadhana Shivdasani's breakthrough came with the Sindhi film Abana (1958), where she played a supporting role. The actress was noticed by the film's star, Sheila Ramani. Later, in 1960, when Sadhana featured in Love in Simla, the actress became a household name. It was the same time when she was introduced with her signature hairstyle. Did you know that Sadhana did a cameo in Showman Raj Kapoor's film Shri 420 in 1955? Over the years, she featured in movies like Asli Naqli, Mere Mehboob, Waqt, Mera Saaya, and Ek Phool Do Mali. As her popularity grew, so did her fees, and with that, she became the highest-paid actress of her time. Sadhana Shivdasani Hated Raj Kapoor Due to… Sadhana and Raj worked on a movie called Dulha Dulhanat, which was released in the year 1966. During the shoot of the film, Sadhana and Raj had a verbal spat and as per media reports, Raj, out of rage, told Sadhana that 'An actress should give emotions in front of the camera, and not set her hair by looking in the mirror all the time.' This became a reason for the duo to have hatred between each other. Sadhana Shivdasani Was Cursed By… It comes as a shock to many that Sadhana Shivdasani, who was the sister of Babita Kapoor, wife of Randhir Kapoor, was cursed by her own sister. Yes, you read that right! Babita had feelings for Randhir. However, since Babita was already in the industry as an actress, this did not go well with Randhir's father, Raj Kapoor. As per the tradition of the Kapoor family then, no female member from the family was allowed to work in movies. Hence, Raj asked Sadhana to make her sister understand and pick one – either Randhir or the career. According to media reports, Sadhana considered Babita as her child and out of love, she went to Babita for a discussion. However, in the heat of the moment, Babita cursed Sadhana that she will yearn for a kid in her life. Unfortunately, this turned out to be true. Sadhana married Ramkrishna Nayyar, the director of her film Love in Simla. However, the couple never had kids. Later in 2015, Sadhana Shivdasani passed away at the age of 74 due to cancer.
