Celeb hairstylist says Amala Paul asked them to leave vanity van in scorching heat: ‘You are not allowed to sit here’
Be it an ad shoot or films, one of the most important people on sets are hairstylists and makeup artists who make the actors and actresses look good on camera. However, a lot of times, these people are not given the respect or acknowledgement they deserve. Recalling one such incident, celebrity hairstylist Hema shared how once South star Amala Paul forced her to leave her vanity van. "Hairstylists and makeup artists are not allowed to sit in the vanity van", she said.
In a conversation with Bollywood Now, Hema said, "Once I went on a shoot with Amala Paul in Chennai. I didn't know her directly, I had gone through a friend of mine. It was quite hot when we had gone for the shoot around April or May. It was so hot and not a single tree at the location for shade, so we stepped inside the vanity van."

She added, "There are two parts in the van, one where the artists sit and other where the technicians are. So when we came and sat inside, Amala told her manager to ask us to leave. 'Tell them they are not allowed to sit in the vanity van.' So when the manager told us this, the makeup man and I started to look at each other's face. We were like 'where do we go in such hot weather?' Yet, we had to get out of the van."
"I don't know if that's how it functions in the South. Maybe they have this rules where hair stylist and makeup artist are not allowed inside the vanity van. They don't value hair stylists and makeup artists. How do we introduce ourselves to them? How do I tell them that I have worked with stars like Tabu, who treat us so well and book an entire van for hair stylist and makeup artist. I was speechless. This happens a lot in South", she concluded.
Amala Paul, who recently welcomed her baby, was last seen in the Prithviraj Sukumaran starrer Aadujeevitham: The Goat Life.
