1972 was the
year when the blockbuster film ‘Rikshawala’ had hit the theatres. A few minutes
into the film and Neetu Singh Kapoor appeared on the screen for the first time as a lead actor. She
laughed, she danced and she hypnotised the audience with her acting prowess. And just like that, Indian
men got their crush while women found their ultimate fashion icon in none other
than Neetu Singh. That day, no one left the theatres without being mesmerized
by Neetu’s enthralling beauty, her smile, her craft, and her middle-parted flix haircut,
an unparallel combination of style n d beauty that even now is hard to come
across.

49 years on
and we are still drowned and drooling over her sense of fashion, gait, and
demeanor. Neetu Kapoor, since the advent of her career in Bollywood, has been a
trendsetter. From her middle-parted squeaky-clean hairstyle to palazzo-styled bell-bottoms, it wouldn’t be unfair to say that she gave Bollywood a sense of
style.
However,
what stayed the closest to her fans’ hearts is her middle-parted flix hairstyle.
Sometimes tied in a puffy bun, something locked in loose hair plates and other
times just conversing with the air as she left her long locks open. Neetu pulled
this haircut off better than any other leady lady of Bollywood for a very long
time.
This gave rise to a new trend leading most ladies in the 70s and 80s to get middle-parted flix popularly knows as ‘Neetu Singh cut’. Try exploring your mom’s teenage pictures and you will find the answer.

Ek Main Aur Ek tu
A short blue dress, double ponytail, and her middle flix adorning the gorgeous look as usual. Neetu Kapoor in ‘Ek Main Aur Ek Tu’ is an apostle of style and beauty. However, we have to give one to Rishi Kapoor here too for looking exceptionally handsome, after all, you need someone extraordinary to match Neetu Singh’s level of charm.
Keh Du Tumhe
Not once, twice, or thrice but we should tell Neetu Singh a million times how that she looks out of the world in this amazing song. Here checkers shirt and bellbottoms and most importantly, her long, lustrous straight hair beautiful parted just adds more glamour to this look.
Tere Chehre Se Nazar Nahi Hat Ti
Isn’t it what all of us whnts to say to Neetu Kapoor? tere chehre see nazar nahi hat ti nazare hum kya dekhe? However, Neetu herself is a sight that we never want to let go of. In this song except for her exceptionally beautiful hair, she gave us winter fashion goals.
Long or short, bell bottoms or salwar suit, Neetu Singh Kapoor has time and again proved that fashion starts and end at her. Her current hairstyle- a bob cut with flare fringes has become a style statement for young girls.
If it comes to style, beauty, and fashion you can never have too much of Neetu Singh Kapoor, she is hands down Bollywood’s ultimate diva who refuses to grow old and let her crown go.
