Throwback To When Akshaye Khanna Opened Up On Losing Hair At Early Stage: Compares Himself To A Pianist

Akshaye Khanna talks about premature balding.

Akshaye Khanna has been part of some engaging and exciting films like Border, Taal, Dil Chahta Hai, Humraaz, Hungama, Hulchul, Section 375 etc. He has been a remarkable performer who has portrayed challenging and varied roles.

Akshaye who was last seen in the ZEE5 film State of Siege: Temple Attack, had opened up in a throwback video on the very early balding that he suffered. A report on hindustantimes.com talked about it and we take reference from that story for our write up here.

In a 2020 interview with Midday while talking about his appearance and hair, Akshaye spoke about losing his hair at a relatively early age. 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 a knee surgery, so it’s heartbreaking, you might lose a year or two of your career.”

On the show Koffee With Karan during the rapid fire round, Akshaye took his own name when he was asked who has the worst hairstyle in Bollywood. Karan asked him about it, and Akshaye 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 further added that it wasn’t something big for him. He said, “It’s a small thing, for me.”

Well, this is certainly bold of Akshaye to talk about his problem.
