By
now
it"s
common
knowledge
that
Priyanka
Chopra
plays
12
roles
in
Ashutosh
Gowariker"s
What"s
Your
Raashee?.
And
that
each
one
has
been
styled
differently.
But
the
attention
that
Ashutosh
Gowariker
has
paid
to
the
hair
styling
for
each
of
the
12
Priyankas
takes
our
breath
away.
Explains
the
diligent
director,
“You
can
tell
a
girl"s
personality
not
only
by
her
clothes
and
hair
but
also
by
the
way
the
hair
bounces."
A
different
bounce
had
to
be
created
by
non-film
stylist
Asha
Harirahan
for
every
Priyanka.
Priyanka
has
assumed
a
different
skin
tone,
complexion
and
playback
voices,
each
suited
to
the
individual
character
in
terms
of
personality
and
body/spoken
language
Confirming
this
Ashutosh
Gowariker
says,
“I
knew
Priyanka
could
pull
off
all
12
parts.
I"ve
seen
how
nuanced
her
performances
are
right
from
the
time
she
made
her
debut
in
The
Hero.
When
we
decided
to
have
the
same
actress
playing
all
12
parts
we
decided
to
give
every
character
a
totally
different
personally
in
terms
of
dress,
skin
tone
and
even
hair
style."
Non-film
hair
stylist
Asha
Hariharan
was
brought
in
to
do
Priyanka
Chopra"s
hair
for
the
12
characters.
Explains
Ashutosh,
“While
Neeta
Lulla
has
done
all
of
Priyanka"s
clothes
for
the
12
characters,
Asha
Hariharan
was
brought
in
because
I
didn"t
only
want
only
a
different
hair
cut
or
style
for
all
the
12
Priyankas
I
also
wanted
a
different
fall
and
bounce
for
every
girl"s
hair.
For
that
I
needed
an
expert
beyond
the
expertise
offered
by
the
Bollywood
names."
Rajesh
Patil
was
roped
in
to
do
Priyanka"s
12
skin
tones.
“They"re
very
subtle
differences.
But
nonetheless
the
skin
shades
determine
a
major
part
of
every
girl"s
personality."
Priyanka
being
dusky
in
complexion
had
a
particularly
tough
time
playing
the
more
gora
avatars.
As
for
her
voices
Ashutosh
sifted
through
innumerable
voices
with
composer
Sohail
Sen
before
selecting
the
11
voices
(the
12th
girl
doesn"t
sing).
“It
wasn"t
like
an
audition.
But
yes,
my
music
director
Sohail
Sen
and
I
went
through
the
voices
to
select
the
ones
that
suited
Priyanka"s
every
avatar."
Adds
Ashutosh,
“If
I
made
the
film
20
years
ago,
Lataji
would
sung
for
all
the
12
Priyankas
and
she
would"ve
made
sure
each
avatar
had
a
distinct
personality."
