hitlist speaks to seven sultry actresses to get their take on the hottest bald pates in the industry and why they are lapping up the bald look…
Actor whose bald look she loves the most: Shahid Kapoor
Neha Dhupia
Lowdown: The actress says, “Shahid Kapoor is looking extremely good in the promos of Haider. The bald look doesn’t suit everyone but Shahid’s look in the film is absolutely striking.”
Actor whose bald look they love the most: Saalman Khan
Mugdha Godse
Lowdown: Godse says that she loves Salman’s look the most. “He is incredibly goodlooking, so he can carry off anything. Even a near bald look is something that suits him just fine. Nothing can take away from his looks; he can flaunt any hairdo/ look,” she says.
Daisy Shah
Lowdown: The actress recently debuted in Bollywood opposite Salman Khan, so it should be no surprise that she prefers Salman’s near bald look over everyone else’s. She votes for the actor’s look in Tere Naam (2003). “All actors looked good in their bald avatars; they looked fierce and they did justice to their roles. My personal favourite is Salman Khan in Tere Naam. At the end of the day, it’s about experimenting with your roles and reinventing yourself in the process,” she says.
Actor whose bald look they love the most: Aamir Khan
Malaika Arora Khan
Lowdown: The leggy actress picks Aamir’s bald look over others’. “His bald look in Ghajini is the best til date. He looked super cool in the film; I’d say he looked beautiful in it,” she says.
Prachi Desai
Lowdown: For me it has to be Aamir Khan. He makes every character so believable. His role in Ghajini stayed with me long after the film was out of theatres. He pulls off the most unconventional and unexpected roles with such poise.
Richa Chaddha
Lowdown: The Gangs of Wasseypur actress believes that Aamir’s look in Ghajini (2008) is one of the best bald looks in Bollywood. “Aamir looked spectacular in the film and his toned body added to his overall look. Aamir’s bald pate was a trendsetter as I saw many people follow suit by shaving off their hair during the time of his film’s release,” says the actress.
Dipannita Sharma
Lowdown: Sharma feels that no one has done justice to the bald look the way Aamir did in Ghajini. “Change of look is actually part of a deeper need to get into a particular character and only a perfectionist like Aamir can pull off such a role with élan,” she says.
