Akshay Kumar’s salt n’ pepper look gives him a rather mature and dignified demeanor, doesn’t it? Rather than dye it, the 47-year-old decided to roll with his silver strands making him look older but classy while promoting his last release Baby. Akshay also made it clear that he’s willing to wear the look on-screen as well. In an interview to DNA he said, “I have been working for the last 25 years. I am in my 40s. I have salt and pepper hair and stubble. Why should I hide it? I am even ready to age on screen.”
Remember, Aamir Khan too looked quite cool with a smattering of grey hair in his role as the silent and simmering artist Arun in Dhobi Ghat.
The perfectionist will be repeating the look in his next film titled Dangal, a biopic on the life of wrestler Mahavir Phogat. Check out Aamir getting the Jat look right with his salt n’ pepper hair and stubble.
Amitabh Bachchan continues to sport a silver beard ever since he first made it famous with the fashionable goatee on Kaun Banega Crorepati TV series.
