Shahid Kapoor knew that his decision to go bald for Haider would cost him dearly.

Yet, the actor who loves his hair, just like most people do, agreed to shear those tresses because it was integral to the script. His director, Vishal Bhardwaj also wanted him to grow a beard for the film. Once again, Shahid agreed. However, after accepting the challenges of going bald and sporting a beard, he had to sit at home for three months reports The Indian Express.

The reasons being that firstly, he had to keep his Haider look under wraps till the director felt it was right for him to go public with it. Secondly, he had to wait for his hair to grow back to start work on his next movie. Yep, going bald did come with its fair share of challenges.
