'Too tall, small face, no heroine will work with you': Amitabh Bachchan says the origin of his famous hairstyle was not for fashion

Amitabh Bachchan revealed that his renowned hairstyle began as a practical response to industry criticism. Producers viewed his height and facial features as drawbacks, forcing him to grow his hair. This choice evolved into the famous 'Bachchan cut', closely associated with his persona in the 1970s. Hairstylist Hakim Kairanvi crafted this signature look for many of Bachchan's early films.
