Jennifer Winget is synonymous with success on the Indian small screen.
From a simple girl next door to a possessive lover, her roles in TV shows like ‘Bepannah’ and ‘Beyhadd’ proves her mettle as an actor. Her mere presence lights up the
screen and so are her bold fashion choices.

Jennifer has recently got her hair
coloured and she is enjoying her new look.

When asked if she loves experimenting
with her hair unlike other actors who usually shy away from trying out new looks,
she told Opoyi,  “The experiments have
mostly been with my hair, yes. As an actor, I find it quite exciting to
experiment with looks for each of my characters. That’s probably why I love my
job so much because it allows me to reinvent myself and what I bring to a
character.”

“That’s probably spilled into my
personal choices as well, especially with my hair. My mood depends on how my
hair looks and vice versa. While I have experimented with browns, blonde in
colour, ( I have) played with the length of my hair too and even gone bald once
for a character but it is true I haven’t gone cherry red before.

“I am loving how my hair feels,
enjoying the vibrancy of the shade, and am definitely basking in the shine
albeit having coloured it myself at home this time around. I remember how I
felt a boost of confidence instantly after colouring. A feel-good factor – just
what we needed after a lockdown. So yes I wish, not just actors and not
restricting it to roles, but that everyone would be more expressive with their
hair,” she added.

She says that one can decide to go
bold for a variety of reasons

“… to feel empowered, confident, to
experiment or simply to make a statement. For me, the decision stemmed from
just wanting to break the monotony that came with the lockdown. I did it more
as a mood lifter. There seemed like no better time to do so. While I have tried
every safe colour before, I think the time called for something bold, so cherry
red for me, was perfect to make a return after a long and languishing lockdown,”
she said.

On August 11, the actor took to
Instagram and dropped a new video where she was seen colouring her hair with
BBLUNT Salon Secret’s at-home hair colour by herself.

Jennifer has created a huge fan base
with your individuality both on and off camera with her eclectic looks. The
36-year-old says that she puts herself at the center of her fashion choices.

“ I try to not blindly follow the
trend as what works for someone else may not work for me. So I go with what
makes me feel good about myself and though I experiment a lot, comfort plays a
key part in what I go for,” she said.

Does the funda work while selecting
projects too?

“I go for scripts and characters that
excite me. I have been fortunate to have had a varied set of characters that I
have portrayed over the years that have allowed for that kind of experimenting.
A script or role has to challenge me and have ample range to experiment within
it, be it, TV, OTT, or Mainstream. At the risk of sounding too picky, I think
it’s only fair to do justice to it and to everyone’s time and investment on a
project,” she said.

Also, India has been under lockdown
for so many months now and celebrities too faced an unprecedented lull in their
lives in these tough times. Talking about her experience during these trying
times,  the ‘Code M’ actor said, “I am
sure we all had our ups and downs in these last few months for nearly 2 whole
years now! Suddenly life as we knew it came to a standstill for everyone, and globally
that too.

“I am sure it took time for us
all to process this transition. But the most important lesson I think we all
have learnt is not to take our health for granted and the support of family and
friends and fans is what has kept me going all through.

“I did dabble a bit in painting as a
stress buster and then as a mood lifter, What do you know!!! I even went and
coloured my hair at home, all by myself with BBLUNT,” she said.
