“Your Father Did My Mundan”: Abhishek Bachchan Reflects on His Decades-Long Bond with Celebrity Hairstylist Aalim Hakim
“Your father did my mundan,” Abhishek Bachchan recalls as he opens up about his decades-long bond with celebrity hairstylist Aalim Hakim, a relationship that has grown alongside their families over the years.
Some memories quietly stay with us, shaping our subconscious without us even noticing. Abhishek Bachchan touched on one such lasting moment as he spoke candidly about the decades-old bond he and his father share with celebrity hairstylist Aalim Hakim and his family.
Abhishek Bachchan revealed that his ‘mundan’ was performed by Aalim Hakim’s father.
The Bachchans share a deep, long-standing relationship with celebrity hairstylist Aalim Hakim and his late father, Hakim Kairanvi. Many of Amitabh Bachchan’s iconic looks from his blockbuster films were crafted by Hakim Kairanvi, and the bond goes back even further — it was he who performed Abhishek Bachchan’s mundan.
Reflecting on this in a video shot during a recent visit for a new look, Abhishek said with a smile, “You all know him — Aalim the genius. He’s been doing my hair for so long that I’ve honestly lost count. This is more than work; it’s a family relationship.” Aalim then chimed in warmly, adding, “Your mundan was done by my dad.”
Leaning further into the nostalgia, Abhishek shared warmly, “Yes, your father did my mundan. His father used to cut my father’s hair, and now the tradition has continued with us. It’s amazing how these relationships carry on through generations.”
The video, shared by Aalim Hakim on his social media handle, quickly struck a chord with viewers and was met with an outpouring of love from netizens. Check out the clip here:
