Actor Neil Nitin Mukesh is contemplating getting his ears pierced.

"Deciding on getting my ears pierced permanently. Clip-ons hurt very bad and leave blood clots. Advice please, " Neil posted on his Twitter.

One would wonder why the actor wants to get the piercing, but he explained: "For films, I have to wear earrings at times."

Neil will soon be seen in Abbas-Mustan's multi-starrer "Players", the official Hindi remake of Hollywood film "The Italian Job". The film will release Jan 6.
