Celebrity hair stylist Aalim Hakim rubbishes rumours about Hrithik Roshan and Kapil Sharma wearing hair patches: 'I personally cut their hair'

Celebrity hairstylist Aalim Hakim is known for cutting the hair of most big celebs - be it actors or cricketers like
Virat Kohli
,
Ranbir Kapoor
,
Abhishek Bachchan
,
Hrithik Roshan
among many others. While many feel that most actors wear wigs or hair patches, in a recent interview, Aalim has addressed these rumours and said that most of them aren't true.
Aalim confidently spoke about Hrithik's hair and also about
Kapil Sharma
. He said, during a chat with Hindi Rush, "Ironically, I don't have real hair myself,' he confessed with a chuckle. 'But as far as the actors go, they don't wear wigs or hairpieces. I work closely with them—I know.'
'I personally cut their hair. If it were fake, it wouldn't behave the same way on camera. For instance, Hrithik's chopper scene in War—that hair movement, that texture—it's all real and top quality,' he explained.
When asked about the origin of the constant chatter, Aalim said he often receives messages from people praising the "wigs" of certain stars. 'They've got it all wrong,' he added. 'Meanwhile, I'm the one with the fake hair—and I don't hide it.'
Hrithik Roshan himself once joked about the subject during a chat with Pinkvilla, referencing a family legacy of hair loss. 'In our family, discussions about hair—or the lack of it—have been going on for generations,' he quipped. His father, filmmaker Rakesh Roshan, recalled a journalist telling him Hrithik would also go bald one day. Rakesh had calmly replied, 'Even if he loses his hair, he won't lose his fate. Luck doesn't lie in the hair; it lies beneath it,' he said, gesturing to his forehead.

Geeta Kapur criticises followers-based casting in Bollywood, calls it unfair: ‘I feel bad for those who learn the craft'

Choreographer Geeta Kapur, who has helmed the choreography for several popular films including Heyy Babyy, Saathiya, Duplicate, Tees Maar Khan and more, recently expressed her disappointment in an interview with Hindi Rush over the growing trend of casting actors in films based on their social media following. (Also Read: Geeta Kapur admits some parts of reality shows are scripted: 'Everyone enjoys peeking into others' lives') Geeta Kapur slams hiring actors on the basis of followers in Bollywood. Geeta feels that the trend is unfair but not entirely wrong, and added, "These days, even recruitment happens based on follower count. It took me 8–10 years to genuinely build 2.3 million followers. And some people just appear overnight with 23 million followers. It's a different world. That system is something else. I think talent is separate but if someone makes their hold in 15 seconds and grabs your attention, then they are doing something right." She added, "There are many talented actors in the industry who truly deserve a chance, but if this is the trend now, it's unfair, but not wrong. I think it's unfair for the people who work on their craft. I feel bad for those who actually spend time learning the craft. I'm also amazed by people who manage to convince others they know the craft, without actually knowing it. It's a very strange circle of life. You put a dancing video, people liked it, and your followers increased. Now, these people say we'll teach you dance, and people get convinced and go to them. You don't see their experience, but just the viral dance. It's very screwed up." Geeta also recalled how people used to offer her the opportunity to open a dance academy in her name and wanted her to teach, but at that time, she was busy. She revealed that many also offered her to just be the face of the academy, but she rejected it because she felt like it was cheating. About Geeta Kapur Geeta is a renowned Indian choreographer and television personality best known for her work in Bollywood and reality dance shows. Starting as an assistant to choreographer Farah Khan, Geeta gained fame choreographing numerous hit songs across decades including Sheila Ki Jawani, Mere Mehboob Mere Sanam and more. Often referred to as 'Geeta Maa' by her fans and reality show contestants, she has judged popular dance shows like Dance India Dance, Super Dancer, and India's Best Dancer, and is admired for her emotional connection with dancers.
