Do Hrithik Roshan and Kapil Sharma wear wigs? Celebrity hairstylist Aalim Hakim reveals: ‘Fake hair wouldn't react…'
Celebrities are often under fire on social media for their physical appearance — from the hair on their head to their tiny toe-nail, netizens have something to say about everything! At times it is hard to tell what's natural and what's not. But the internet users are sure that they know the truth. Well, today an insider decided to spill the beans himself, to put an end to the debate once and for all. Did Bollywood's Greek God Hrithik Roshan wear a wig for his drool-worthy entry scene as he walked out of a chopper in War (2019)? Does comedy king Kapil Sharma wear a hair patch? Here's the answer.
In a recent chat with Hindi Rush, celebrity hairstylist Aalim Hakim reacted to these bizarre rumours about his star clients having fake hair. When asked about Hrithik Roshan and Kapil Sharma, Aalim revealed, 'No, it's all real. None of them. Sabke asli baal hain boss. I cut their hair myself. Fake hair wouldn't react the same way as real hair on camera. Like Hrithik's chopper shot in War. Not only does he have real hair, he has great quality hair. Everybody has great hair.' That's not all! Aalim went on to touch his hair and revealed that it was fake.
Aalim shared, 'I've heard these rumours, but let me tell you that they don't wear hair patches or wigs. To be very frank, my own hair is fake. I don't lie about it. Many people send me messages, saying that some actor's wig is excellent. And I tell them that they're mistaken.' Will this revelation put an end to rumours? Probably not. But as they say, kuchh toh log kahenge.
On the work front, Hrithik is currently busy gearing up for the sequel of War. Titled War 2, the much-awaited action thriller also stars Jr NTR and soon-to-be mother Kiara Advani. Kapil, on the other hand, is returning to our screens with the third season of his comedy show The Great Indian Kapil Show this weekend, with Salman Khan as his first guest.

From the Greek mountains to Manhattan: folk music icon Petroloukas Chalkias honored after death
ATHENS, Greece — Greece is honoring the late clarinetist Petroloukas Chalkias, whose hypnotic, note-bending performances over the course of more than 70 years made him a hero of mountain folk music. Chalkias, who died at 90 over the weekend, lay in state Wednesday at the Athens Cathedral — a rare honor typically reserved for prime ministers and religious leaders. As pallbearers emerged through the doors in a chapel next to the cathedral, carrying the coffin, silence descended. Mourners then clapped and shouted 'immortal' as musicians played folk tunes. It was a solemn prelude to his funeral which will take place in the rugged highlands of Epirus, in northwest Greece, where he first took up the clarinet as a boy of 11. Greek President Constantine Tassoulas earlier this week described Chalkias as a 'legendary figure.' Epirus' folk music, slowly unfolding and often centered around the clarinet, is steeped in improvisation, with its wanderings inviting comparisons to rural blues and jazz. It's one of the reasons that, while not so distinguished as a recording artist, Chalkias' live performances made him a household name for Greeks young and old alike. His style evolved after settling in New York as a young man, joining a wave of musicians who emigrated along with other Greeks to escape the hardship of postwar poverty. Chalkias found an unlikely second stage: dimly-lit clubs filled with Greek emigres and curious outsiders. Among those drawn to his performances were jazz legends Benny Goodman and Louis Armstrong. Musicians paying their respects on Wednesday praised Chalkias for his generosity with his time in helping fellow artists. 'I was a young woman when I started out and I was incredibly lucky to have him support me,' folk singer Giota Griva said. 'His influence was immense. He was an artist who will never leave us.' Born Petros Loukas Chalkias, the musician was the son and grandson of clarinet players. He was raised with the region's rich tradition of live music — an essential part of village festivals, celebrations, and mourning rituals. Chalkias spent nearly 20 years in the US and raised a family there, but said he always intended to return to Greece. He did so in 1979, performing live across the country and reconnecting with Delvinaki, the red-roofed mountain village of his birth near Greece's border with Albania. Delvinaki bore deep scars from the devastations of World War II and the civil war that followed. Chalkias, like many of his generation, grew up with interrupted schooling and little formal training. His music was learned by ear and memory, and never performed using sheet music. 'In the hearts of all Greeks, he stands as the foremost ambassador of our folk song tradition,' President Tassoulas, also from Epirus, said in a statement. 'Though Petros Loukas Chalkias has departed this life, his voice has not fallen silent –- nor will it ever.' Chalkias died in Athens. His family did not announce the cause of his death. His funeral will be held at the Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary in Delvinaki on Thursday. He is survived by a son and a daughter.
