Shahid Kapoor, Salman Khan, Sanjay Dutt: Actors who went bald onscreen
It is not rare for our Bollywood actors to go far and beyond to
justify roles. Whether it is life threatening stunts, fight scenes or dangerous
shooting locations, nothing scares the dudes of B-town.
But when it comes to undergoing a drastic change in physical appearance, the equation kind of goes haywire – especially when actors are asked to shave off their hair. Many actors have given up big roles for they couldn’t go bald but then there were some who sacrificed their locks.
Not so long ago, Shahid was spotted with a bald head. Near Olive bar in Mumbai, Shahid was caught on cam sporting a heavy beard and a bald head, which he unsuccessfully tried to conceal with a hat.
Many A-listers like Salman Khan, Aamir Khan, Shabana Azmi have shaved off their hair. Have a look at some of them

Akshay and Priyanka are too big to be compared to me: Rohit Shetty on KKK -
Filmmaker Rohit Shetty, who has delivered hits such as Chennai Express, Singham and the Golmaal series, is all pepped up about being the host of the fifth season of adventure-based reality show, Khatron Ke Khiladi. "Hosting Kharton Ke Khiladi has been a great learning experience. The stunts are grander and the scale of the show, including the entertainment quotient, is much bigger this time. Moreover, the focus is on having bigger and better stunts, and less of drama," said Rohit during the interview in Cape Town, South Africa, where the show has been shot. Ask him if he felt any pressure, as the previous seasons of the show have been hosted by actors Akshay Kumar and Priyanka Chopra, and pat comes his reply, "Both Akshay and Priyanka are too big to be compared to me. For me, it’s an honour to have got the chance to host this show. I know that I am giving my 100%. I don’t believe in being calculative. I just believe in doing my best." We also asked him about his take on the line up of this year’s contestants, which includes names like actors Ranvir Shorey, Gauahar Khan, Nikitin Dheer, and Rajniesh Duggal, among others, to which he says, “It’s the best lot of contestants. They surprise me each day by either performing a task outstandingly or by not being able to do a task. It has been a roller coaster ride
Moving on to the subject of his forthcoming projects, Rohit, who is working on Singham 2 with actor Ajay Devgn, says he wishes to make Golmaal 4.
"I’d love to make Golmaal 4, but I need to have the right script for it. I can’t cheat my audiences if I am not convinced by the story,” he says. Prod him on his shy image and he says, “I want my work to speak for me."
