The new salt and pepper look is normalising ageing among Bollywood actors

As the deadly coronavirus has led to the shutting of malls, schools, and offices, we miss going out without feeling like a criminal. Especially we all are missing our monthly visits to the beauty parlour. Much like us, even Bollywood celebrities are unable to meet their stylists for touch-ups. As a result, we all are searching for DIY options to get our work done at home. For celebs who used to colour their mane often, the lockdown has given us a sneak peek into what their real hair looks like. It’s grey! From Karan Johar to Hrithik Roshan, we have spotted so many men from the Bollywood industry flaunting the new age salt and pepper look (proudly!)

Filmmaker Karan Johar in his recent Instagram story seemed to be okay with his peeking grey hair. The director’s close selfie was captioned as “grey matter”, so we are assuming that he is really enjoying his new look.


Similarly, in a lates post by Sussanne Khan, Hrithik Roshan was seen with his two sons flaunting the coolest dad look with grey hairs. Other than this, the actor has also uploaded multiple videos and images on his Instagram feed where he was not at all hiding his ageing hair.

Akshay Kumar since the starting of the lockdown was spotted with a grey beard. We all agree that the grey has made him look like a Khiladi that he already is.

Other celebs such as Abhay Deol, Virat Kholi and even cricket superstar, Kapil Dev were seen rocking the grey hair without a doubt! It is safe to say that this stay-at-home period is normalising the beauty standards in this industry, including the fetish for deep noir black hair.
