While actors are often seen in bald appearances in films and TV serials, the same is less common for actresses. Nia Sharma broke this barrier on television, showcasing a bald look for the first time. She didn’t actually shave her head; the appearance was skillfully created to give the impression of a hair sacrifice for the show, a decision that proved beneficial to her character’s portrayal in the series ‘Ek Hazaaron Mein Meri Behna Hai’.
Nia Sharma, who was born in Delhi on September 17, 1990, is celebrating her 35th birthday. She began her acting career in 2010 with ‘Kaali – Ek Agnipariksha’, followed by a role in ‘Behenein’. However, her breakthrough came with ‘Ek Hazaaron Mein Meri Behna Hai,’ where she gained widespread recognition. Her bald look in the series was particularly impactful, and it was incorporated into the storyline to enhance the emotional depth of her character.
How did Nia Sharma achieve the bald look without shaving her head?
‘Ek Hazaaron Mein Meri Behna Hai’ aired on Star Plus from 2011 to 2013. The series followed the story of two sisters, played by Nia Sharma and Krystle D’Souza, with Karan Tacker and Kushal Tandon in the lead opposite roles. Nia portrayed Maanvi Chaudhary, who is depicted as a cancer patient in some episodes, which required her to appear bald. The look was achieved using makeup, allowing her to maintain her natural hair.
Nia underwent a four-month hair and skin treatment, which, although leading to some issues like dark circles later on, significantly boosted her fame. Following Nia, actresses like Jennifer Winget, Pooja Kanwal, Rinku Karmarkar, and Krutika Desai also adopted similar bald looks in their shows, garnering significant attention.
What is Nia Sharma’s TV career like?
