Celebrity dermatologist and hair transplant expert Dr Gaurang Krishna recently opened up about Bollywood actors who have undergone hair transplants. The renowned doctor shared insights into why hair transplants are often performed in multiple sessions and discussed results seen on popular stars like Salman Khan and Ranbir Kapoor, while also revealing which actor he believes has the best natural hair in the industry.
On Ranbir Kapoor’s hair transplant
Speaking with Siddharth Kannan, Dr Krishna talked about Ranbir Kapoor who reportedly began facing hair thinning early in his career, around his 2007 debut Saawariya. “Ranbir Kapoor’s hair transplant — he has done multiple hair transplants. The first two were not that good; it was looking a little unnatural. But now it has been made better, which is very nice to see,” he said.
On Salman Khan’s multiple hair transplants
Speaking about Salman Khan, Dr Krishna confirmed that the superstar has undergone several procedures over the years. “I have some data that I got from talking to people personally — around 5–6 transplants done by Salman Khan. Most of the transplants have been done in Dubai; the last one or two have been done in India,” he shared.He further explained why celebrities — and even ordinary patients — often need multiple sessions, “Hair loss is a progressive problem. Hair transplant is a treatment for baldness, not for hair loss. So, when new areas go bald in the future, those are fixed later. Also, some people get botched or suboptimal results, which need correction.”
Rating Salman’s final look, Dr Krishna said, “Now, the overall appearance after doing everything, I would rate it 7.5 on a scale of 10. I didn’t give 10 because there were multiple transplants in the same place, and I thought his hairline could have been a little better. But overall, it’s Salman Khan — everything looks good on him.”
On Shah Rukh Khan ’s natural hair
When asked which celebrity’s hair he admired most, Dr Krishna replied instantly, “My favourite — Shah Rukh Khan. I love everything about SRK.”When asked whether SRK’s hair was natural, he confirmed, “Totally natural. Blessed with good hair. Yesterday, he was at the 71st National Film Awards — I saw him in front of me. Excellent. Beautiful.”
