Moving on further, apart from those tight-fitted dresses which Sadhana was seen donning in many of her films. One major trend for which the actress was greatly known for was her hairstyle, which popularly came to be known as the ‘Sadhna Cut’. Believe us or not, Sadhana’s hairstyle during that time marked a massive storm in the industry and from merely an actress, she became a fashion icon. A tight fitting churidar with fringes on the forehead was a style statement of 60s, courtesy the gorgeous star Sadhana. It was like every other girl in the parlour just wanted the ‘Sadhana Cut’ and nothing else. For the uninitiated, Sadhana’s fringe cut hairstyle was inspired from none other than Hollywood actress, Audrey Hepburn.
