The worst wigs in bollywood history & the men who wore them

While channel hopping last night i came on to a hit 70's film and one of the worst wigs ever crafted, it got me wondering were there others, would i be able to find them.

Well there are and i was.

Film : Jaan Se Pyaara (1992)
Wig Man - Govinda

Usually when you talk about bollywood and are looking for a worst list, chances are Govinda is bound to show up on them. However in this one he shows up twice for the same movie. Govinda plays the dual role of a cop and his under developed younger brother (they ripped of Rain Man where they could) though which one is which is hard to tell because they both seem equally stupid. Hence the wigs.
To set the too apart the younger, less intelligent brother wears a wig made by the blind which works nicely as only someone half baked would wear a wig like that. The older supposedly more intelligent brother wears a wig with a life of its own. It points to a North - South/East-West axis depending on the shot. I can bet you $2 that there is no fucking way you can tell me which one is smarter by looking at it!

Film : Shaadi Se Pehle (2006)
Wig Man : Akshay Khanna


Akshay Khanna wears a wig so amazing that both Ayesha Takia & Mallika Sherawat spend their time running after him trying to figure out what lives beneath it.


Apparently even the actor was not keen on the ridiculous wig but the producer Mr.Ghai insisted he wear it (apparently he cleared millions of dollars in bets that he could make an actor wear it throughout a film)

Fortunately for Mr.Khanna the film flopped and no one remembers the ridiculous wig.

Movie : Yaadon Ki Baraat (1973)
Wig man : Dharamendra

The fact that this movie was a hit is testament to how many partially blind folk live in this country, its a problem that needs to be addressed.

In this film Dharamendra plays a small time crook looking for his long lost brothers, a job made difficult by the piece he wears in this film as no one wants to stand next to him, let alone count him as family.

Interestingly his wig is the father of the wig Govinda wore in the movie mentioned above.
