Jan 29, 2025
New Delhi, January 29 (ANI): Shahid Kapoor is gearing up for his next big release, 'Deva', where he returns to the action genre as a fearless cop while sporting a "massy" look. Over the years, the Shahid has become known for undergoing drastic hair makeovers for his film roles. From going bald for 'Haider' to experimenting with messy looks, long locks, and different beard styles, Shahid has never hesitated to transform his looks to suit his characters. While speaking to ANI, the actor opened up about his hair transformations and shared that as an actor one should learn to "sacrifice" things they are most associated with and also shared how "stepping away" from "physical features" he once relied on allowed him to grow as an actor. "I think hair has always been a big part of my personality because I had a lot of it in the beginning, and I had that boyish look. What I realized as an actor is that you have to learn to sacrifice things that you think are most associated with you. When you start doing those things--letting go of something that has been a strong part of your personality or something that boosts your confidence, like thinking, 'my eyes are nice, my hair is nice'--you realize that your confidence doesn't come from these aspects," Shahid said.
