SRK carries mineral water to wash his hair

Men have their cars, and women have their hair. Or so we thought. But men are as fussy when it comes to their locks. Case in point: Shah Rukh Khan.

The actor is very particular about his mane and makes sure he treats it well. He is finicky; not just about hair products, but also about the water he uses to wash his tresses.

When the actor shoots out of the city in remote places, where there is only hard water available, he carries mineral water to care for his locks.

During a shoot of Priyadarshan's Billu Barber in Pollachi, the actor ensured there was a steady supply of mineral water for his bath.

A source reveals, "His hair reacts badly to hard water. He has a condition where his hair gets hard and loses its shine if he doesn't take good care of it.

And you can't have a bad hair day while shooting, so he only uses bottled water in such cases." On the sets of Billu Barber, it had become a joke, and everyone would tease him about it.

Says his hair stylist who advised King Khan against using hard water, "It's important for styling that hair be washed with regular water.

In the past, SRK's hair got damaged when he used well water while shooting in remote locations during Paheli. After that, he has learned to be careful.

As an actor, you are in the business of looking good, so you better take care of your skin, body and hair. Also it affects the look and continuity in the film and he doesn't want to take any risks."

SRK & Billu Barber: Making ordinary extraordinary again!

After making the love story of an ordinary couple extraordinary, in his last all time blockbuster success, Yash Raj’s Aditya Chopra directed RAB NE BANA DI JODI, the extraordinary superstar returns with his home banner venture, BILLU BARBER. The saga of the common man, a barber played by ace actor, Irrfan Khan, will see Shah Rukh Khan in the role of a superstar.

The tag line of the film, ‘Its special to be ordinary’, once again brings back into the limelight the common man, a cause propagated well with the stupendous success of RNDBJ, with billions of female fans falling in love with SRK’s common man avatar - Surinder Sahni, I work for Punjab power! And so once again championing the cause of the commoner, we have Billu Barber, which like RNDBJ, will have the common man as the major focus and how he rises above the ordinary to become special, rather, extraordinary. Thus the interesting tagline, Its special to be ordinary becomes all the more meaningful. And is just not an attention grabbing one but in sync with the theme of Billu Barber.

No doubt the global superstar makes ordinary extraordinary, as he proved with RNBDJ, and here’s hoping he does the same, this time with his home banner production!
