Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan continues to defy age, not only with his energy on screen but also with his thick, wavy hair that has remained unchanged for decades. Recently, an AIIMS-trained celebrity dermatologist and hair transplant expert, Dr. Gaurang Krishna, clarified the long-standing curiosity about whether the actor’s hair is natural — and his answer left no doubt.
Dr. Gaurang Krishna on SRK’s Hair
In a conversation with Siddharth Kannan, Dr. Gaurang Krishna discussed several Bollywood stars and their hair transformations, including Salman Khan and Ranbir Kapoor. While explaining that hair transplants are often performed in multiple sessions due to the progressive nature of hair loss, he also named the actor he believes has the best natural hair in the industry.
When asked which celebrity’s hair he admired most, Dr. Krishna responded without hesitation, calling Shah Rukh Khan his favourite. He added that the superstar’s hair is “totally natural” and that he is “blessed with good hair.” The dermatologist shared that he recently saw Khan in person at the 71st National Film Awards and described his hair as “excellent” and “beautiful.”
Dr. Krishna’s remarks stood out, especially as he had earlier in the interview said that Salman Khan had undergone multiple hair transplant procedures, and Ranbir Kapoor had also opted for corrective sessions over time. In contrast, Shah Rukh Khan, at 60, appears to have maintained his natural hair effortlessly.
Dr Gaurang Krishna, who has an MD from AIIMS, explained that there are various factors at play that cause hair loss. According to him, genetics plays the biggest role, accounting for 70% of baldness cases in women or men. The next 20% depends on lifestyle and nutrition- too much stress, irregular sleeping patterns, poor diet and lack of nutrition, also causes hair loss. The remaining 10% stems from hard water, air or water pollution, to name a few.
SRK’s Haircare Routine
The actor himself has previously given fans a glimpse into his haircare habits. During an “Ask SRK” session on X (formerly Twitter) in 2023, a fan asked him about the secret behind his “hair.” In his characteristic candid style, Shah Rukh replied that he uses a combination of “Aamla, Bhringraaj aur Methi.”
These three ingredients — all traditional Indian herbs — are well-known for promoting hair strength, reducing dandruff, and maintaining shine. Amla (Indian gooseberry) is rich in vitamin C and antioxidants that strengthen hair follicles. Bhringraj helps prevent premature greying and promotes regrowth, while methi (fenugreek) nourishes the scalp and adds a natural shine.
The Superstar’s Next Act: “King”
On the professional front, Shah Rukh Khan is now gearing up for his next big release, King, directed by Siddharth Anand. The film, backed by Red Chillies Entertainment and Marflix Pictures, features an ensemble cast including Deepika Padukone, Abhishek Bachchan, Suhana Khan, and Rani Mukerji. Scheduled for release in 2026, the actioner has already created massive buzz following the teaser that dropped on the actor’s birthday this year.
After delivering massive hits like Pathaan and Jawan, the actor’s upcoming project is expected to showcase him in a new and high-octane avatar. Fans continue to await updates eagerly, proving that even after three decades in the industry, Shah Rukh Khan remains one of Bollywood’s most enduring icons — both for his performances and his enviable, naturally healthy hair.
