New Delhi, IAF pilot Abhinandan Varthaman signature gunslinger moustache has become a national rage and a fashion statement among his countless followers in the country.
Celebrated hair stylist Jawed Habib is the latest to admire his moustache with a ‘mutton chop beard style’.
“His looks are very different, not common. He has got very short hair shaved from sides, only jawline area is visible which makes his moustache look attractive, Habib told ANI.
“His moustache shows he is confident and sure in what he is doing,” he added.
Abhinandan has returned as a hero to the country from his captivity in Pakistan. His courage and valour in face of adversity in enemy soil have endeared him to both young and old in India.
Young men are clearly in awe of the smart and attractive style of the moustache and hailing it as the “pride of India.” The pilot’s moustache has been a topic of conversation on social media too.
He is also credited to be the only fighter pilot in the world to have knocked down US made new generation F-16 aircraft, which till some days back was known for its invincibility.
