Akshaye Khanna has always played his cards cautiously. In a career spanning more than 2-decades, the actor has offered some of the most entertaining flicks of all time. However, physical appearance can be a crucial factor in getting the meaty roles in Bollywood.
In several interviews, Akshaye had spoken about his appearance, and particularly his experience with premature balding. The 47-year-old actor elaborated about his early balding and said that it started at a very young.
In a 2020 interview with Midday, the Hulchal actor spoke about his appearance and hair comparing it to a pianist losing his fingers.
He said, “It started happening to me at such a young age, for me, it was like a pianist losing his fingers. It really felt like that to me, in those days, till you come to terms with it and it starts bothering you less… You might be a sportsman, and realise you need knee surgery, so it’s heartbreaking, you might lose a year or two of your career.”
Well, this wasn’t the first time when Akshaye addressed the issue.
Previously, during an appearance on Koffee With Karan, a media-shy Akshaye while playing the rapid-fire round, named himself when he was asked who has the worst hairstyle in the film industry.
Karan asked him about it, and Akshay said with a laugh, “Some people have back problems, some people have a number for their eyes, some people need hearing aids… It’s a part of life, that’s how I look at it, some people might think I’m absolutely stupid…” He admitted that he’s ‘vain’ sometimes, but said that he isn’t particularly bothered by his hair. “It’s a small thing, for me…” he said.
