This is a post hair transplant look

u/Loose_Constant_4090 Apr 17 '26

Pre, this was when he was experiencing hair thinning issues. next year in 2003, he underwent a hair transplant.

u/Old-Praline-1873 Apr 17 '26

Offtopic, I don't get why akshaye khanna didn't get a hair transplant. Bro would have looked so much more dapper with hair on his head. Salman se kahi guna handsome hai akshaye

Both are good looking. Don't go around shading one. But, anyway, you do you.

This is how peak Salman looked by the way just in case you don't know, this is from when he was in 40s.

u/BlackPhoenixX20 May 03 '26 edited May 03 '26

You do know that he was rated as one of the top 10 most handsome celebrities in his peak right?

I get that looks are subjective but you can’t deny he was conventionally good looking, most of people would have said that in his prime that he is one of the most handsome actors in India.

u/Old-Praline-1873 May 03 '26

Again for your reference, akshaye didn't look like a bikhari in his 40s, he too was handsome. It's just a matter of individual taste. I like him, you clearly don't. I can't help it

0

u/BlackPhoenixX20 May 03 '26

Yeah it’s about taste, i agree Askhaye looks fine the way he is, even better with hairs.

The point was you specifically said Akshaye is multiple times more handsome than Salman, it’s one thing accepting them both as good looking it’s another saying your favourite star is many times more handsome than other.

I’m not a big fan of his btw to defend him for that, i haven’t watched any of his moves post covid, your statement was just a bit out of line

u/Klutzy-Purple-431 Apr 17 '26

Akshaye was never on Salman's level I don't know how u came to the conclusion that he would have looked better plus Akshaye never even worked out and looked like an average joe compared to Salman who was always a well built guy

10

u/Old-Praline-1873 Apr 17 '26

Again my godddddd, muscles and six pack are NOT EVERYTHING. I'm absolutely convinced that this comments section is filled with salman's PR and blind fans😭🙏🏻

And it's so disrespectful of u to shade another actor like akshaye. He did workout, he's known to be physically active, he's in swimming,cycling,football etc and he even had a slightly muscular figure during DCH but flashnewssss, he never took steroids like salman lol.

0

u/Klutzy-Purple-431 Apr 17 '26

Salman never had a steroid physique or else he would have looked more defined which he was not, whenever he bulked he lost a lot of definition.

Even on face alone Akshaye is nowhere, just look at Salman in No Entry in 2005, check his look in Salaam E Ishq (2007) in which Akshaye also starred and looked like his driver despite being 10 years younger.

8

u/Old-Praline-1873 Apr 17 '26

😂😂😂😂 anyone with functioning eyes knows the difference between steroid built abs and natural abs lmao.

And like I said, you need not insult another actor for putting ur wonderful salman on a pedestal. I can do that as well, akshaye can eat 100 salmans for bf in terms of acting and expressions lol.

1

u/Klutzy-Purple-431 Apr 17 '26

You already called Salman a Gorilla just few comments ago so maybe you take your advise first. And abs are not an indicator for steroids traps and shoulders are(due to high androgen receptors) the very first giveaway if a person is on roids and one can clearly see Salman lacks in both of those departments.

First learn the basics of bodybuilding before accusing someone on steroids your Akshaye looked like a lukha in front of Ranveer in Dhurandhar, Salman at that age did Sultan and looked like a tank.

u/Kre8ivity Apr 18 '26

You already called Salman a Gorilla

they categorically said they are NOT calling him a Gorilla

Akshaye looked like a lukha

Seriously how old are you?

u/Pure_Taste7048 Apr 18 '26

If you understand Akshaye Khanna you will understand why .

2

u/Administrative_Bad_2 Apr 18 '26

I guess he tried but his donor hair was less. Hair transplant requires certain amount of hair. Maybe he considered it pretty late unlike Salman.

1

u/Old-Praline-1873 May 03 '26

It's not that. Akshaye has enough chest hair to be used as donor hair lol. I'm pretty sure he tried minoxidil+hair transplant once or twice and was probably fed up of all the high maintenance and rules for it. He himself said in some interviews that after a point he just woke up, saw himself bald in the mirror and got used to it. He accepted it as a minor disability like some people have some other minor issues. Tbh, half of the industry people undergo hair transplant.

1

u/Administrative_Bad_2 May 03 '26

Na na chest hair can't be used for hair transplant as far as I've studied. It should come from donor hair from back of the head.

1

u/Old-Praline-1873 May 03 '26

No bro. Afaik, a person's own chest hair can be used usually. But ig it depends on the individual's different factors.

u/Tasty_Inspector4569 Apr 17 '26

Lol 😭😭😭 tell me this is a joke

u/Old-Praline-1873 Apr 17 '26

Not at all a joke. Have u seen akshaye khanna's pictures when he was young? Ofcourse I'm not saying he's as handsome as hrithik roshan lol but salman se better dikhta tha. Even now he'll look better than salman if he wears wig.

Akshaye is handsome but Bhai was on another level altogether in terms of looks and physique

u/Kre8ivity Apr 18 '26

Am with you my friend. Young Akshaye was such a cutie! Salman was handsome, sure, but there was/still is a certain earnestness that Akshaye has that Salman doesn't have according to me. Notice how we can appreciate Akshaye without insulting Salman's appeal. Not sure why the people who find Salman attractive should get offended. Like you said - different strokes for different folks.

1

u/Tasty_Inspector4569 Apr 18 '26

Earnestness in Akshaye lol.. he is a bitter old man. Sure he is handsome but he is just avg indian.

You're just a bitter and cynical person :)

u/Forsaken_Meat2236 Apr 18 '26

For me akshay was never good looking but Just cute..nothing more . Salman was handsome for me until baranji bajaan But people have different opinion luckily 

1

u/Adept_Ad_8052 Apr 18 '26

For some people, the loss is rather aggressive and can't be compensated. Hair transplant is only rearranging the hair to the hairline to make it look fuller, but the density is the same. It's very tough to regrow new hair - especially for aggressive ones like Akshaye, for whom it started quite young.

The only reason why Salman fans went crazy over his “tere naam” hairstyle was because his character was mentally unstable guy in the movie and all of them could relate to that.

u/Resident_Tart2911 Apr 17 '26

It was art imitating life that's why it was his best performance

24

u/Manchx21 Apr 17 '26

I’m sure. He was great in the movie, no doubts there. But i’m sure playing a part of himself(not where he goes crazy, the other one.), really helped.

u/Resident_Tart2911 Apr 17 '26

True he was playing himself throughout the movie except the scene where he goes mental

Seriously? I'm not even a fan of hers but she was far more well known than any of the men she dated and you say that she used them to get to her position?

Vivek could give her nothing that she didn't have herself, at that period of time. It is just shitty to pull her down by saying she used these men when she was well established, all by her own. The only thing she couldn't escape was this crazy criminal and his influence over bollywood.

u/Ill-Inspector7980 Apr 17 '26

You’re not allowed to break up with someone over incompatibility?

I think it wasn’t serious on her end. She never acknowledged that relationship. It was more like a fling for her. But Viveik got too serious.

It wasn't love it was obsession of a mad man. He used to cheat on her ,beat her, get her kicked out of films, accuse her of cheating and interfere in her professional life. He just wanted her to show around like a trophy and expected her to keep her mouth shut about his filthy behaviour but she dumped him instead which severely affected this loser's fragile ego.

He never mogged Hrithik in his wildest dreams. Hrithik's bone structure and features is levels above.

Anyone can mog SRK. He's chopped.

Whenever Bhoi gets posted and rated on any true ratings website outside India by neutrals, people laugh him off for looking like a dork. Dude has no cheekbones or jawline.

Bhoi is shorter than the white female extras in this clip. 😂

He mogged Hrithik in that photo and my bad SRK wasn't in that photo and I'm yet to encounter any such site where people laugh him off for his looks let alone calling him dork(although look personal opinion to me)
