HT Brunch Interview: Meet Ranveer Singh’s barber!
Darshan Yewalekar is the man behind the superstar’s looks in Ram-Leela, Padmaavat and Simmba; has also worked with Salman Khan, Saif Ali Khan and Ranbir Kapoor
Actor Ranveer Singh’s hairstyles have been as edgy as his film roles. Remember that semi-bald look with a short ponytail in Bajirao Mastani? Or, how about his long wavy hair and moustache in Gundey or take the dreadlocks he sported as Khilji in Padmaavat. More recently, the actor sported a sleek side parting in and as Simmba and will be seen flaunting trademark Kapil Dev curls in the cricketer’s biopic, 83. Even off screen the actor is known to let his hair down, often literally! And a chunk of the credit for his hair-raising acts goes to his mane man Darshan Yewalekar.
“Why does a ‘barber’ require a fancy term? You call a doctor a doctor but you call a barber a hair-stylist!”

“I was introduced to Ranveer by Bhansali sir for the film Ram-Leela and I have been with him ever since! He often calls me Bhansali sir’s gift to him”

“After leaving Bhai I had gone through a real bad phase where nothing really worked out. But going back was not an option because I couldn’t go to him as a failure”

“I met Bhansali sir at Salman’s. One day Bhai casually asked me to check out this young guy’s hair who was supposed to work in Bhansali sir’s next. It was Ranbir Kapoor and they were then prepping for Saawariya”
