Janhvi Kapoor's style hack: How tissue rolls helped her dazz ..

Janhvi Kapoor has been serving look after look while promoting her upcoming film Param Sundari with Sidharth Malhotra, but her latest appearance had the internet squinting in disbelief. Draped in a shimmering golden lehenga paired with a heavily embellished sheer blouse and flowing beige skirt, she looked like a vision of modern royalty. Yet, it wasn’t the sequins or the sparkle that grabbed headlines—it was what seemed to be a neat stack of tissue rolls strapped across her back.

Social media, predictably, had a field day. Was she shielding a new tattoo? Guarding her makeup from an unexpected drizzle? Protecting a leather car seat from sequin casualties? The theories ranged from sensible to hilarious, until her hairstylist Sourav Roy stepped in with the truth. The tissues, he revealed, were a clever hack to keep Janhvi’s long braid from tangling with the elaborate embroidery and chains on her blouse. Once the cameras were ready, the tissues came off, leaving her hair silky and her outfit flawless.

What looked like a fashion faux pas was actually a backstage masterstroke, proof that even the most glamorous red-carpet moments are often propped up by practical magic. Janhvi may have entered the venue with tissues trailing her back, but she exited as pure gold, her lehenga-and-braid combination intact. If this is what it takes to survive shaadi season without snags and tears, then Bollywood has just given us permission to call tissue paper couture.
