As a man who never ceases to age, Anil Kapoor has done quite well for himself—produced some (really) good looking kids (stylish too), acquired assets worth billions, is still warming his hands in Bollywood's bonfire and man, even today, makes headlines for a goddamn grooming move.

He's done what most of his contemporaries or younger counterparts couldn't. And incentive? He's still quite relevant in 2018, inspiring a million male anomalies daily.

But talking of Anil's recent grooming move, let's just say: we didn't see this coming at all. From a man who's stood for age-defying antics and 21-year-old nuances, this 'Grandfather' appearance is his most uncalled-for sighting till date.

In case you lack what we call a 'grooming eye', let's lay down Kapoor's Beard History for you here. Literally from the beginning of time (when he was actually young) to up until last night, Anil has always been very consistent with his mug. Though, he's 61 now, his beard has never represented his age (all thanks to hair colour). Plus, it's always been a medium-length, with a slight scatter all over and always in line with normalcy.

On off days—he may have gone a little unkempt, or for 'Dil Dhadakne Do', maintained just a 'stache, but at least he's always maintained a great-looking facial blanket.

Most important point to notice: since the longest time now, he's been very consistent with colouring his beard black (or shades of it). Keeping that in mind, let's unfold a new chapter in his life for you. Boys and men...scroll down below, for images that have shook the grooming industry completely.

Before all hell breaks loose, let's give you affirmation that this is indeed Anil Kapoor. And the good news is that, this could be his move for an upcoming movie role. But all said and done, doesn't the salt and pepper (almost salt) look great on him? Extending the thought, this could also be the actor's indifference towards natural ageing or a noble hug to playing 'Dadaji Cool'. All said and done, personally, we're holding this beard in very high regard.
