From Clean-Shaven to Rugged: Singh's Evolving Look
3 Dec
Summary
- Actor Akshay Singh embraced a rugged, bearded look for a recent web series.
- He previously maintained a clean-shaven appearance for 'chocolate boy' roles.
- Singh believes a beard adds rustic charm, mystery, and gravitas.

Actor Akshay Singh, known for his clean-shaven charm in earlier roles, has embraced a rugged, bearded appearance, marking a notable evolution in his on-screen persona. This shift, which began as a character choice for the web series 'Naam Gum Jayega,' has surprised both audiences and Singh himself.
Singh explains that his earlier 'chocolate boy' looks necessitated a clean-shaven face for characters. However, with the opportunity to explore characters with 'grey shades,' he began experimenting with various facial hair styles, eventually settling on a full beard for a recent role demanding rugged intensity.
He finds that the beard adds a layer of mystery, gravitas, and rustic charm, which he believes is advantageous for roles on OTT platforms, where characters often exhibit more depth and imperfection. Singh emphasizes that his look serves the character, and he remains flexible to returning to a clean-shaven appearance if a role requires it.
