Aasif Khan's Moustache Remark on Bigg Boss 20 Sparks Debate Among Contestants and Viewers
During a Bigg Boss 20 task, actor Aasif Khan stated that men without moustaches are not considered 'real men' in Rajasthan, linking moustaches to identity and masculinity. This remark sparked disagreement among housemates like Gullu, Aman Gandhi, and Mahhi Vij, who challenged his view. Former contestant Gauahar Khan also criticised Aasif's comment as narrow-minded, emphasizing that true manhood is defined by behaviour and thinking. The statement drew mixed reactions on social media, with some referencing host Salman Khan's clean-shaven look.
