Bald Barbara Mori Shocks Hrithik Roshan!

You’ve seen her looking stunning, long shiny hair included, in the promos of ‘Kites’. But did you know that Barbara Mori was bald when ‘Kites’ producer Rakesh Roshan and director Anurag Basu first met her? And this is what she looked like! When the ‘Kites’ team first met Barbara for the story narration in Los Angeles, the actress had just inch long hair as she had gone totally bald for her role in a Spanish film ‘Cosas Insignificantes’ (Insignificant Things).

In the film, her screen son has cancer and is losing hair, so she expresses unity with him this way. Rakesh Roshan admits that when he saw his future heroine with only one inch long hair, he was uncertain to sign her on. “I was shocked,’’ he says. “I asked her how we would shoot with her six months down the line, but she was confident that her hair would grow or else she suggested that she would put on hair extensions.

’’Director Anurag Basu adds, “Barbara looked gorgeous in short hair too. I had an option to have her with short hair in Kites, but in our industry actresses normally don’t have short hair. So later when she came to India, we did some look tests with Barbara in short hair and also with hair extensions and she looked even prettier in long hair.”
