Priyanka Chopra and 6 other actresses whose onscreen ‘bald look’ made headlines

Some of our B-Town beauties proved that they don't even pay any attention to what people think and rocked bald looks like a boss for their movies

 
 

Society promotes the idea that a woman is supposed to look good only in a particular way – her hair must be thick and long, the eyes must be big, her lips cannot be thin.. oh but she should be. Certain aspects of the idea of beauty may vary from person to person but the essentials often remain the same because, conditioning. Our films are complicit in shaping these seemingly ‘perfect’ ideas of what a woman must look like.
 
Over the years, several Bollywood actresses have ‘stepped away’ from the expectation of looking ‘perfect’ for roles they played on camera. For Indian women, who are taught to take pride in their long tresses, going short is considered huge while going bald is generally a no-no. Unless of course you’re unwell or happen to be donating your hair. In a world that ‘orthodox’, portraying a bald look onscreen is mighty badass.
