Samosapedia labels it as an adjective but the actual translation it gives is: Taklu is one of many words for a bald man. Leaving aside the labeling, the definition itself is clearly one for a noun.

See also how it is used in an actual sentence by the Times of India: Hritik Roshan better watch out! His dad Rakesh Roshan was the biggest taklu in Hindi Films and spent a large part of his career weighed down by a luxuriously hairy pelt that was as fake as a wig on a shop window mannequin. (The Times of India Hair raising tales)

So on the testimony of both the definition and an actual example I'm changing it back to the noun part of speech.

    • Thanks. You're right that Samosapedia says it is an adjective. But the actual definition is not consistent with that labeling. I think the person who produced the definition knows the translation but was less certain about grammar and actual parts of speech. In any case look at the definition itself and the example I gave of its actual use in a Times of India article. Basemetal (talk) 15:10, 4 June 2013 (UTC)Reply
