Shahid has gone bald for Haider...
As a father and an actor, I think it’s fantastic! I am extremely happy that he decided to shave his hair. It’s a part of being an actor. If the role demands something, one must do it. Every actor should do whatever is required to breathe life into a character. Though Shahid is a mainstream star, he decided to go bald. A lot of credit should go to him for that. It shows his maturity and commitment towards his work. A lot of directors will feel happy because this proves his serious approach to his work. Shahid means business and will go to any lengths to satisfy his director and play the part to perfection. The audiences, producers and directors will realise his capabilities and caliber as an actor and entertainer.
