Bollywood's evolution over the years has resulted in stiff competition among peers and insistence on getting the desired look and feel of the character just right. Actors wish to get into the skin of their characters to the point of perfection. This drive for perfection has led many stars to go 'bald,' a move not to be attempted by the faint of heart, which intensifies the depth of their respective characters. While some manage the look via prosthetic make-up and special effects, many actually shave their heads to perfect their look.
The latest celebrities to have gone bald (in varied ways) for their films include Priyanka Chopra, Shahid Kapoor and Ranveer Singh.
Priyanka sports a bald look in her latest film Mary Kom, which hit the theatres today. She didn't actually shave her head, as the bald look was required for just one scene. However, the actress says she may consider going bald for real if an entire film requires her to do so. "It was just about one scene in Mary Kom, so it was not required for me to go bald. But if a film requires for me to go bald entirely, maybe I will do it," Priyanka said in a recent interview. (Also Read: Mary Kom Movie Review)
