A very hairy situation
After women showed off their saree-look on Twitter, men have taken to the platform with #beardtwitter.
Earlier, women across India took to Twitter to post their favourite picture in a saree, with the hashtag, #SareeTwitter. Once the trend began catching on, celebrities and politicians too joined in on the fun.
However, not to be outdone, men started showing off their facial hair with hashtag #beardtwitter, making it a new viral craze on social media.
One of the first people to join the trend was politician and National Spokesperson of the Indian National Congress, Sanjay Jha, who shared a picture in which he can be seen rocking the beard-look, with the caption, “#beardtwitter ? Well, time to join the party, I guess.”
