Scenes from Mohit Suri’s latest film Saiyaara are currently trending across social media. While Ahaan Panday’s performance is drawing admiration, it’s his character Krish Kapoor’s hairstyle that’s become a viral sensation.

With its raw, untamed, and effortlessly carefree appeal, it has captivated young audiences, particularly women, while inspiring men to rush to salons to replicate the look.

Far from being just a passing fashion statement, the “Saiyaara messy look" has become a symbol of youthful expression. Terms like “Krish Kapoor hairstyle" are now hot keywords online. But there’s a deeper, emotional journey behind this trend.

Celebrity hairstylist Aalim Hakim, who designed the look, shared on Instagram that styling for Saiyaara was an emotional experience. He emphasised that film characters are shaped not just by the script, but by subtle details like body language, costume, and especially hair.
