Kajol, Bobby Deol & others support Aalim Hakim's decision to not work for celebs with disrespectful managers

Celebrity hairstylist Aalim Hakim refuses to work with stars whose managers mistreat crew. Kajol, Bobby Deol, Rajkummar Rao & more support his bold stance.

"Talent deserves dignity. Hard work deserves kindness. And every artist deserves respect. - Aalim Hakim"

Mumbai, May 15

In a powerful move, celebrity hairstylist Aalim Hakim has announced his decision not to work with celebrities whose managers behave rudely or mistreat creative professionals behind the scenes.

Taking to his official IG, he wrote, "We have decided to step away from working with actors whose teams disrespect, demean, or mistreat any creative professional or crew member. Because talent deserves dignity. Hard work deserves kindness. And every artist deserves respect (sic)."

Expressing their support in the comment section, many members from the film fraternity penned encouraging remarks, lauding Aalim's decision.

Rajkummar Rao wrote in the comment section, "Absolutely sir. Respect and Equality two utmost important things."

Gajraj Rao penned, "Huge respect for you, Aalim, for saying this out loud and clear @aalimhakim"

Farah Khan commented, "Well done Aalim".

Rupali Ganguly added, "Well said".

Arjun Kapoor shared, "With U on this @aalimhakim bhai".

Zoya Akhtar mentioned, "Bang On".

Chitrangda Singh's comment read, "AGREE !"

Kajol dropped two raised hands emoji in the comment section.

Others, such as Bobby Deol, Arjun Rampal, Pulkit Samrat, and Aparshakti Khurana also showed their support with the help of various emoticons.

Aalim further urged all to treat creative people with the respect they deserve.

His post read, "It is heartbreaking to see managers speaking rudely, humiliating people, throwing attitude, or releasing frustration on innocent crew members - especially for mistakes that are not even theirs. Authority does not give anyone the right to disrespect another human being."

Pointing out the impact of such behaviour, the celebrity hairstylist added, "The saddest part is...sometimes actors don't even realise how badly their image, reputation, and energy are being damaged outside the vanity van because of the behaviour of the people representing them."

His post also reflected on the personal sacrifices made by the crew members working in the industry. "Many of these artists leave their homes before sunrise. Stand for endless hours. Miss festivals, birthdays, families, sleep, and peace... Only to make sure the actor they work with looks and feels their absolute best," Aalim shared.

It takes courage to call out bad behavior when your livelihood depends on these same actors. So glad to see Kajol, Bobby, Rajkummar and others supporting him. At the end of the day, yeh industry crew ke shoulders pe khadi hai. Dignity should not be a privilege.

Respect to Aalim for taking a stand! But let's be honest - this is just a drop in the ocean. The problem is systemic. Agents, PR teams, managers - bahut log involved hain. Actors are often unaware, as he rightly said. It's high time Bollywood addresses the power imbalance behind the scenes.

This is such a powerful statement. Coming from the film industry in the West, I know this is a universal problem. But it's refreshing to see someone from a non-acting background actually do something about it. Kudos to @aalimhakim and all the celebs backing him. Talent deserves dignity indeed.

👏👏👏 Finally someone calling out the dada-giri of managers! I've heard horror stories from friends working in production. Actors genuinely don't know how their own team behaves. Bachcha party wala attitude nahi chahiye kisi ko. Respect is earned, not demanded. Well said Aalim!

I appreciate the sentiment, but I wonder if this will actually change anything. Actions speak louder than Instagram posts. Let's see if other hairstylists, makeup artists, and technicians follow suit. One person's boycott is symbolic, but a collective stand could truly reform the industry culture.
