Boney Kapoor held a press conference recently, during which he shared that he had a hair transplant. He also motivated others to try the process and shared that under the supervision of the doctors, the process is absolutely harmless. During the press conference, he addressed various aspects of his life and how they had encouraged him over time. He added that his late wife, Sridevi, was not as eager to lose weight; however, he wanted him to focus on his weight-loss journey.
Boney Kapoor spoke at the Eugenix Hair Sciences press conference. He shared the reason why he delayed his hair transplant was because his late wife wanted him to lose weight first. He also added that he was told that bald people were often lucky and was given the example of Yash Chopra. He stated:
"My wife Sri used to tell me, 'Boney, first lose weight, and then you can fix your hair.' Later, some people told me that bald people are often lucky. They gave examples of Yash Chopra. They would say, 'Look, Yash Chopra is also bald but so rich.' So, I fell for this and remained bald for quite some time."
In the same conversation, Boney Kapoor revealed that one day, he had decided that he wanted to get his hair transplant done. He added that three days later, over six thousand hairs were planted on his scalp. He further shared how he even suggested actor, Akshaye Khanna to get a hair transplant after seeing his own results. Boney was quoted saying:
"Finally, one day, I was convinced to get a hair transplant. In three days, they planted almost 6 thousand hairs. After seeing the results, I even suggested it to Akshaye Khanna. People are often scared about the pain, but trust me, it’s not that bad."
Boney Kapoor shared he lost 14 kgs before getting the hair transplant done. He revealed that his wife, Sridevi, had advised him to lose weight first. He added that he went on a diet and is in better shape now. He also shared that it was difficult for him to exercise, yet after he lost the weight, he went for the transplant.
