Veteran Bollywood actor Shatrughan Sinha, who is known for films such as `Kaala Patthar`, `Dostana`, `Yudh` and several others, recently shared the story behind the scar on his face which at one point had a fan following of its own.
The senior actor recently appeared on chat show `The Invincibles` hosted by Bollywood actor Arbaaz Khan and revealed that the scar is from a childhood injury. He said: “I was very naughty during my childhood. One day, I saw my uncle shaving his face. Then to imitate him, I too ran a razor across my face when I was a child.”
He continued: “First my uncle`s daughter tried, she cut her cheek and started crying. I then told her, `Tumko nahi aata hai, main tumhe dikhaata hoon kaise karte hain` (let me show you how it`s done since you know nothing). Then I went ahead to cut my own cheek.”

“I did feel embarrassed, when I was about to start my film career, I thought how would I work with a scarred face. But then, Dev Anand told me to be proud of my face and he advised me against going for a plastic surgery,” he concluded.
`The Invincibles` is available to stream on Bollywood Bubble`s YouTube channel.
