Alia Bhatt’s grand Cannes Film Festival debut wasn’t as smooth behind the scenes as it appeared on camera. Her trusted hairstylist, Amit Thakur, faced a nightmare situation just hours before the big event, he lost all his bags, including his professional hair kits.
Thakur shared the ordeal on Instagram, revealing that all his luggage was misplaced while traveling to France. With no time and no tools, he had to scramble to create Alia’s flawless red carpet look using borrowed equipment from fellow stylists and friends.
Despite the chaos, Thakur didn’t let the setback affect his work. His dedication and adaptability shone through as Alia stepped onto the red carpet looking stunning, her hair styled elegantly despite the behind-the-scenes panic.
He thanked the people who helped him at the last moment, showing that even in high-pressure moments, the industry’s solidarity can work wonders. His honesty about the struggle made fans admire the effort it takes to bring those glamour moments to life.
This incident highlights the unpredictable nature of international events and the quick thinking required in the fashion and beauty world. While the world saw a picture-perfect Alia shining at Cannes, few knew about the missing bags and the hustle that made it all possible.
