She used to have long locks of beautiful hair but according to her, she had to wake at the crack of dawn, 2:30 in the morning, to wash and dry her hair and get ready for her morning shift of the show.
Handling such long hair made her feel like a nightmare so she decided to end this cumbersome routine by cutting her hair as short as possible. She cut her hair into a signature short-hairstyle which looked really adorable on her.
