Music Composer Vishal Dadlani Shares Why He Kept a Bald Head and Stayed Away from Alcohol

Music composer Vishal Dadlani revealed on a YouTube chat show that he was deeply religious when he was younger and shaved his long hair off at Tirumala at age 23, vowing never to grow it back. Appearing on Double Date with hosts Neha Dhupia and Angad Bedi, the 53-year-old musician shared an old picture with them to show his past long hair. When asked by Neha about the reason behind shaving his head and making that vow, Vishal admitted he does not know why he did it.

Personal Choices

Vishal also discussed his lifelong choice to stay away from alcohol, despite growing up in a Sindhi household where social drinking was normal and treated as acceptable. He decided as a child that he would not drink and has stuck to that personal rule ever since, even though he now identifies as an atheist. Professionally, he most recently composed the music album for the 2025 film starring Kartik Aaryan and Ananya Panday.
