Going bald: Salman Khan talks about his biggest fear!

Last week, while hosting his television reality show Bigg Boss, Salman Khan spoke about an actor’s biggest fear in life – their receding hair, which is an early sign of male pattern baldness.

Talking to Apoorva Agnihotri, who recently chopped most of his hair during their weekly Luxury budget task, Salman said “An actor’s biggest fear is the fear of losing his hair. If my hair falls and I go bald, will the audience accept me or not.”

The actor then spoke about his hair-fall problem and how he mentally prepared himself just in case he goes bald.

“There came a time when I had a very bad sinus problem and because of the sinus problem I began to lose hair. Most of the actors during that time who started losing their hair, started going out of work. For an actor, the most fearful thing is going bald”

Salman also shared a decade-old story, which happened during the shooting schedule of Satish Kaushik’s Tere Naam.

“Sometimes there are days when you don’t feel like shooting the next day. So one day the producer of the film came to me and said we have to shoot the next day, come what may. So I said, lets not shoot the next day, we will shoot some other time. I am not feeling well and don’t want to shoot.”

“As soon as he went out, I went inside and shaved off my head completely. I was sitting outside and my father saw me. I was thinking my father would ask, what have you ended up doing now. But instead, my father just looked at me and (showed a thumbs up)”

“The next instant, the fear that I had of going bald vanished. The fear of whether I would be accepted or not, was gone. I realised, my audience will accept me even if I go bald”
