When Katrina Doffed Her Stylish Hat

Hide and hydrate, summer is upon us.

Time to bring out those shades and sunscreens, guzzle down gallons of nariyal and nimboo pani and take refuge in cool, chic hats from the scorching sun.

From cowboy to fedora, hat fashion is a Bollywood staple that never goes out of style.
