While playing tennis, Kiran Bedi felt her long braids became more and more of a nuisance, as they kept dangling in front of her face and disturbing her game. Once, when she couldn’t stand this any longer, she got her parent’s permission and ran to the men’s saloon across the road and got her hair cut. This is how she got her boy-cut, which later became a trend among girls. She was glad that at an early age, she learnt how to prioritize simple things in life.
