It is a common practice in India to shave off one's hair or tonsure head as a sign of religious devotion or humility. Nag Ashwin's picture in which he appeared with a shaved head has now surfaced on social media. It seems like he did very recently as the director flagged off Roshann starrer Champion shoot by sounding the first clap and had his signature hairstyle back then.
