Celebrity hairstylist Aalim Hakim is known for cutting the hair of most big celebs - be it actors or cricketers like

,
Abhishek Bachchan
,
Hrithik Roshan
among many others. While many feel that most actors wear wigs or hair patches, in a recent interview, Aalim has addressed these rumours and said that most of them aren't true.
Aalim confidently spoke about Hrithik's hair and also about
Kapil Sharma
. He said, during a chat with Hindi Rush, "Ironically, I don't have real hair myself,' he confessed with a chuckle. 'But as far as the actors go, they don't wear wigs or hairpieces. I work closely with them—I know.'
'I personally cut their hair. If it were fake, it wouldn't behave the same way on camera. For instance, Hrithik's chopper scene in War—that hair movement, that texture—it's all real and top quality,' he explained.
When asked about the origin of the constant chatter, Aalim said he often receives messages from people praising the "wigs" of certain stars. 'They've got it all wrong,' he added. 'Meanwhile, I'm the one with the fake hair—and I don't hide it.'
Hrithik Roshan himself once joked about the subject during a chat with Pinkvilla, referencing a family legacy of hair loss. 'In our family, discussions about hair—or the lack of it—have been going on for generations,' he quipped. His father, filmmaker Rakesh Roshan, recalled a journalist telling him Hrithik would also go bald one day. Rakesh had calmly replied, 'Even if he loses his hair, he won't lose his fate. Luck doesn't lie in the hair; it lies beneath it,' he said, gesturing to his forehead.
