Allu Arjun, aka the Pushpa Raj we can¡¯t stop talking about, just hit the refresh button on his style! After a whopping five years of embodying his rugged, unfiltered avatar for Pushpa 2: The Rule, the South Indian superstar has officially said goodbye to his signature long hair and beard. And the reason? Let¡¯s just say it¡¯s sweeter than all his blockbuster hits combined.
While the world went gaga over Allu Arjun¡¯s intense look in Pushpa 2, his daughter Arha wasn¡¯t exactly a fan. The actor revealed during a Mumbai event that his little girl had been avoiding him because of the beard. According to sources, Arjun shared that he hadn¡¯t been able to kiss his daughter properly in nearly three or four years. His words were simple yet touching: the beard had become a literal barrier to their daddy-daughter bond.

And if reports are to be believed, the actor is gearing up to unveil his brand-new look on social media soon. Talk about a glow-up moment for the new year!
Fans, of course, are flipping out over the change. The iconic look that defined an entire era of Allu Arjun¡¯s career is now history, but the excitement around his fresh avatar is already skyrocketing. "Can you imagine him without that beard?" one fan exclaimed online.
Arjun¡¯s transformation also hints at a new phase in his career, with fans speculating how his next roles will differ from the rugged charisma of Pushpa. Whether it¡¯s a suave businessman or a romantic lead, one thing is clear: Allu Arjun¡¯s versatility will keep us glued to the screens.
As for Arha? She¡¯s finally getting all the kisses she missed out on, and we can¡¯t think of a cuter start to 2025.
