‘Hrithik Roshan and Kapil Sharma don't wear wigs or patches; their hair is absolutely real': Celebrity hairstylist Aalim Hakim
Celebrity hairstylist Aalim Hakim said in a new interview that Bollywood actors don't wear hair patches or wigs, even though many of them are rumoured to. He said that he, in fact, doesn't have real hair himself. But Aalim claimed that stars such as Hrithik Roshan and Kapil Sharma have real hair. In his career, Aalim has styled every major actor, from Amitabh Bachchan to Ranbir Kapoor. His clients also include cricketing icons Mahendra Singh Dhoni and Virat Kohli.
In an interview with Hindi Rush, he was asked about the rumours that float around about Bollywood stars having fake hair. He said, 'I've heard these rumours, but let me tell you that they don't wear hair patches or wigs. To be very frank, my own hair is fake. I don't lie about it. Many people send me messages, saying that some actor's wig is excellent. And I tell them that they're mistaken.'

Asked directly about Hrithik Roshan and Kapil Sharma, he said, 'No, it's all real. None of them. Sabke asli baal hain boss. I cut their hair myself. Fake hair wouldn't react the same way as real hair on camera. Like Hrithik's chopper shot in War. Not only does he have real hair, he has great quality hair. Everybody has great hair.' Touching his own head, he said with a laugh, 'This is fake.'
In an interaction with his father Rakesh Roshan, Hrithik had joked about the men their family being bald. 'Ye baalon ka kissa hamari family mei arson se hai (This discussion over hair has been there in our family for a long time),' he said in an interview with Pinkvilla. Rakesh recalled an anecdote from the past, when a mediaperson had predicted that Hrithik would go bald as well. 'This person came to me and said, 'Aapke baal nahi hai, aapke bete ke bhi udd jayenge, phir kya karega (You are bald and your son will also lose his hair. What will he do then)?' I said you have hair, what have you done?' The director than added, 'I told him 'Even if he loses his hair, he will not lose his kismet. Lakerein baalon mei nahi hote, baalon ke neeche hote hai',' he said, pointing to his forehead.

Meet star who started her career at age of 15, worked with Shah Rukh Khan, Akshay Kumar, left Bollywood due to..., still single at 57, her name is...
This renowned celebrity began her journey in the world of lights and camera when most teenagers were still figuring out their dreams. By 15, she was already choreographing moves that would later become iconic in Bollywood's dance history. Behind the spotlight, however, she observed an industry not always as glamorous as it seemed. Years later, this celebrated choreographer opened up about the darker alleys of showbiz, touching upon favoritism, exploitation, and the struggles faced by outsiders. The Only 'Maa' Of Dancing Community Here we are talking about Geeta Kapur, also referred to as Geeta Maa. Kapur began her journey in the industry when she joined the team of renowned Bollywood director-choreographer Farah Khan at the age of 15. She subsequently assisted Farah Khan on various films, such as 'Kuch Kuch Hota Hai,' 'Dil Toh Pagal Hai,' 'Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham,' 'Mohabbatein,' 'Kal Ho Na Ho,' 'Main Hoon Na,' and 'Om Shanti Om,' as well as the musical 'Bombay Dreams.' Additionally, she has choreographed award shows and concerts like Temptation Reloaded and was involved in the choreography for the opening ceremony of Pepsi IPL 2013. Recently, while talking to Hindi Rush, Geeta Kapoor expressed her disappointment related to Bollywood's unfair means for measuring artists. Geeta mentioned that nowadays casting in films is based on social media trend followers, which is not right. She said, 'Nowadays, recruitment is based on social media count. It took me 8 to 10 years to get 2.3 million followers. But nowadays, people get 23 million followers overnight. This is a different world. But if someone can hold on in 15 seconds and gain all the attention, then he is really right.' Geeta further said, 'There are many talented stars in the film industry who should get opportunities. But nowadays there is a trend which is definitely unfair but not wrong. I feel bad for those people who take their time to learn. You upload your dance video, people like it and followers increase. Then, these people say they will teach you dance. People also go. You will not see their expressions. But, you will only see the viral dance.' More About Geeta Kapur Kapur made her first appearance on television with the reality series 'Dance India Dance' (season 1) on Zee TV in 2008, alongside co-judges choreographers Terrence Lewis and Remo D'Souza. Mithun Chakrabarty served as the grand master. She coached a group known as 'Geeta Ki Gang.'

The Great Indian Kapil Show: Salman Khan reveals Avinash Gowariker stayed in his home until Sohail's marriage, 'Dedh-do saal ho gaye...'
The Great Indian Kapil Show Season 4 is back with a bang! Megastar Salman Khan made his appearance as the first guest of the show. His candid revelations about life, family, and his constant jabs at various matters, including marriage and divorce, continued to entertain the audience, offering a perfect dose of entertainment. Salman Khan recalls how Avinash Gowariker stayed at the Galaxy Apartment, renting his own house In one such revelation, the Dabangg actor reminisced about how popular photographer Avinash Gowariker stayed at his house until Sohail Khan married. Sharing the fun story, Salman said, "Wo hamare ghar aaye, unhone kaha ki main apne rented apartment se nikal raha hu, mujhe 1-2 maheene ke liye stay chahiye. I said - Stay, you are more than welcome. To aake ke reh gaye aur phir dedh-do saal ho gaye (leaving everyone in splits)." "He came to our house, he said that I am moving out of my rented apartment, I need a stay for 1-2 months. I said - Stay, you are more than welcome. So he came and stayed, and then one-two years passed (leaving everyone in splits)." While continuing the story, the 56-year-old mentioned, "To ek din hamne poocha ki Bhai kab jaane ka plan hai? Ghar dekh rahe the aap apna, Kya hua uska? He said, wo to ghar 15 din me mil gaya that jab main yaha aaya that, usko Maine rent me chada diya hai." (So one day we asked him, When are you planning to leave, brother? You were looking for your house. What happened to it? He said, I got the house in 15 days when I came here, I have given it on rent.) Furthermore, Salman Khan took a jibe at Sohail Khan's marriage. "Ussi dauraan Sohail ne bhaag kar shaadi ki thi, ab wo bhi bhag gayi (During that time Sohail had eloped and got married, now she has also eloped)," said Salman, leaving the audience in a chuckle. The Tiger 3 actor mentioned that Avinash used to stay in Sohail's room. When Sohail got married, Avinash was sleeping in his bed. Sohail asked him to wake up and move out, as he had gotten married. Avinash's reaction was priceless- "This is not fair. How can you get married like this? You should tell me. I mean, this is not fair at all—where will I go?" Salman laughs. Who is Avinash Gowariker? For the unversed, Avinash Gowariker is among the most popular celebrity photographers today. In an earlier interview with Bollywood Bubble, Avinash himself told this story and called Salman Khan and his whole family 'very kind-hearted'. He mentioned that at those times, he was struggling and not connected to any Khan member. No one in the Khan family knew him, even then, Bhaijaan opened doors for him, and Sohail allowed him to live in his room. Stay tuned to Pinkvilla for more updates.
