Ranveer Singh shaved off his hair for Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Bajirao Mastani. Now that’s a big deal for Ranveer. Here’s why – Ranveer is considered to be self-obsessed and can be found staring into the mirror for hours (well, that’s a bit of an exaggeration) and his hair is his prized possession. If you ask any of his co-stars, they’ll tell you how possessive the actor is about his mane. Now you know why it’s such a big deal.

We all know that Shahid Kapoor went bald for Vishal Bhardwaj’s Haider. Shahid is reportedly as narcissistic as Ranveer (do visit Shahid’s Instagram account and you’ll get the picture), and doesn’t let anyone near his hair unless he completely trusts them. So who better than Vishal Bhardwaj to sacrifice those lovely locks for? And the gamble sure paid off, just look at all those awards Shahid grabbed for his performance in Haider.

Now this hunk looks good in anything so when he went bald for Ra.One, Arjun Rampal just ended up looking hotter. Like Sanjay Dutt, Rampal too decided to sport the bald look to add a mean streak to his role as a villain. No wonder then that people wanted more of the villain than the hero of the film.
