Tejasswi Prakash open to going bald for a role: ‘People lately have been finding a way around it'
Tejasswi Prakash on going bald
When we asked her if she would be open to going bald, Tejasswi said, 'I would do it.'
'I would go bald for a character if it requires. I'm very committed like that most of the time. I feel people lately have been finding a way around it… Like I'm doing something which is about transformation. But everyone in the industry has gone ahead and found so many more options for anything and everything, from making your hair colour look a certain way or making you look bald or making you look blonde. There are so many other solutions that nobody's really asked me to do it actually. But if ever I am asked, I would do it,' adds the actor, who rose to fame with her show Swaragini – Jodein Rishton Ke Sur.
The actor is known for starring in shows such as Naagin 6, Fear Factor: Khatron Ke Khiladi 10, Bigg Boss 15 and Celebrity MasterChef. With the transformation, Tejasswi was referring to her journey of losing some weight for her next project.
On her haircare
When it comes to Tejasswi's haircare routine, it is pretty basic, crediting the way she was brought up by her mom. She swears by 'champi' – a scalp massage.
'My hair care routine is pretty basic. Like how my mom brought me up, which includes champi. Lately, I have added quite a few steps to my hair care. Now, it is about doing like a proper hair wash and using a good hairmask for some 5-10 minutes and then applying a good serum,' shares the actor, adds the actor, who recently walked the ramp in Delhi as part of the hair show by Godrej Professional while unveiling The Surreal Collection.
Like any other, Tejasswi isn't immune to bad hair days, but she's mastered the art of transforming them into another look with her styling skills.
'I do have bad hair days, mostly because I have straight hair. My bad hair days aren't about my hair being frizzy. It is when my hair is really flat with zero volume. In fact, my hair somehow gets oily after just one or two days of washing. Those for me are my bad hair days. And at that time, I just did a sleek hairstyle such as ponytail,' she ends.

Viral For Dramatic Salt-Sprinkling, This Chef Once 'Intimidated' Messi — A Short Rise & Fall Story
'From viral fame to public backlash, Was it ego? Missteps? or just too much, too fast? Did he deserve the fall?" asked a post by the Instagram page Mental Health & Motivation. The Salt Bae Moment That Changed Everything Salt Bae's rise started with a short video in 2017 which showed his signature move where he sprinkled salt with a dramatic wrist flick, letting it slide down his forearm onto a juicy steak. Wearing dark sunglasses and a tight white T-shirt, he became an internet sensation. The video caught the attention of millions including celebrities like Bruno Mars who reposted it and Rihanna who even wore a Salt Bae t-shirt. Stars such as Leonardo DiCaprio visited his restaurants. He has also been pictured with soccer legend David Beckham and actor Jason Statham. The Luxury Steak Empire Salt Bae's success led to the rapid expansion of his restaurant brand, Nusr-Et. Starting from a single location in 2010, his empire grew to include spots in Dubai, London, New York, Beverly Hills and more. His menu was anything but ordinary. At the Beverly Hills location, guests could enjoy char-grilled steaks like the mustard-marinated Amor, also known as Salt Bae's Private Reserve Cut, thick wagyu Woww steak and the famous Salt Bae tomahawk. Nusr-Et also offered a lavish Golden Experience menu that featured steaks coated in edible gold. For example, a 24-carat gold-covered tomahawk steak was priced at $950, a golden Amor at $1,500 and a massive four-pound wagyu New York strip steak at $2,000. The menu even included unique dishes like meat sushi topped with Parmigiano cheese served on beds of sushi rice. The restaurants became famous not only for the food but also for the spectacle with Salt Bae often performing his salt-sprinkling routine at the table. Trouble In Paradise Salt Bae's shine started to fade as serious complaints surfaced. A former waiter at his Manhattan steakhouse accused Salt Bae of taking a portion of the employees' tips. According to a report in Eater, the waiter had claimed that tips were pooled but that management kept about 3 per cent before sharing the rest with staff including managers and non-service employees. The employee had also alleged that workers were shorted on pay for breaks and overtime. According to the lawsuit, anyone who complained about not receiving their full tips was systematically fired. Customers also started speaking out. Many said, 'The show looks good. But the food isn't worth it." These accusations added to Salt Bae's growing list of controversies. Public Missteps Salt Bae's troubles extended beyond his restaurants. In 2022, he caused a stir by storming the pitch at the FIFA World Cup final without permission. He grabbed the trophy, kissed it and performed his signature salt-sprinkle gestures. Even Lionel Messi looked stunned by his unexpected actions. Many saw this as disrespectful.
