Tejasswi Prakash open to going bald for a role: ‘People lately have been finding a way around it'

Actor Tejasswi Prakash is known for her long locks. However, the actor reveals she would be more than willing to shave her head for a role. Tejasswi shares that no one has approached her with such a request, as filmmakers have found creative workarounds rather than opting for an actual bald look. Tejasswi Prakash rose to fame with Swaragini – Jodein Rishton Ke Sur and Naagin 6. (Instagram) 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.

The 31-year-old golf influencer spoke during an Instagram Q&A on Tuesday, August 5, on her official Instagram Story. She explained that she was once married to athletic trainer Steven Tinoco, but the marriage did not work out. Because of that experience, she decided she will never share her private life online again. Years later, she still gets harsh and hurtful messages about her past. To protect her peace, she chose to keep her personal life just for herself. Paige Spiranac explains decision after failed marriage During the Instagram Story on August 5, Paige Spiranac said, 'I got married young, and when it didn't work out, I decided that I was never, ever, ever, ever going to share my personal life online ever again.' She said those four 'evers' showed how firm she was in her choice. Spiranac married Steven Tinoco in 2019, but they divorced two years later. Even now, she still receives 'horrible and harassing' messages about that relationship, she added. By mentioning her failed marriage so clearly, Spiranac made it plain that she won't discuss boyfriends, dates, or breakups in public. 'I share so much about myself online. I'm very open and honest, but I want to keep a little something just for me,' she said. This shows that some parts of a person's life must stay private even for someone with millions of followers. Paige Spiranac says her mental health comes first when it comes to dating Paige Spiranac said her choice is 'more for my mental wellbeing and my sanity.' She told fans, 'If you never put anything online, you never owe anyone an explanation.' In 2022, she first confirmed she was 'no longer married,' but gave few details at the time. Back then, she warned that public relationships let strangers feel they can pry. 'When you make your relationship public, you give everyone the right to ask questions, and you have to answer them even about breakups,' she told The Spun. Aside from her personal life, Spiranac also answered fun questions in Tuesday's Q&A. She shared her proudest moment and talked about her first acting role in Happy Gilmore 2 on Netflix. She filmed a scene with Adam Sandler in Los Angeles this spring and called him 'genuine, funny, kind, humble.' Last month, she walked the red carpet at the film's New York premiere, where she played a sporting goods store employee who helps Happy Gilmore with a golf simulator. Paige Spiranac remains open with fans just not about dating and is focusing on her mental health and growing career. Catch Rani Rampal's inspiring story on Game On, Episode 4. Watch Here!
