Shilpa Shetty will not be shaving her head now after a cosmetics company put a stop to the move.

Shilpa was all set to shave her hair off for the challenging role in English film Desire, but as she is committed to endorsing hair products she will instead use prosthetics now.

She said: "I’d have loved to shave off my hair. But my other commitments put an end to my plans. The bald prosthetics were done by an amazing makeup artiste named Vidyadhar. It took him three hours to make me look bald. And after I finished shooting it took an hour to take off the bald makeup."

All the bald scenes were shot in one day Shilpa revealed: "Getting into the bald makeup again would’ve been impossible. But what we’ve shot is amazing. Being hairless makes you look so vulnerable and childlike. I felt I had gone back to my childhood."

Shilpa then adds, "Seeing myself in bald prosthetics liberated me. I wish I could’ve actually shaved of my hair. An Aamir Khan tonsures his head and it becomes a fashion statement. But we girls have to go by the market definitions of glamour."
