Shweta Tripathi, who has charmed everyone with her incredible acting in films like Masaan and Haramkhor, is all set to play an aspiring dancer in Gone Kesh, which is touted to be India’s first ever film based on Alopecia.
Alopecia develops when the immune system attacks the hair follicles and results in hair loss. The film deals with a very common disorder which is often neglected by people.
In the film, Masaan actress Shweta plays a middle-class girl who is an aspiring dancer and wants to realise her dream. But she is diagnosed with Alopecia. At the age of 18, she finds a temporary solution for Alopecia that steals her precious youth years, dwarfs her ambitions and wrecks her life.
