Wing Commander Abhinandan Varthaman is emerging as a style icon of sorts for youth who are eager to sport a gunslinger moustache and cut like the famous Air Force pilot.
Not only the youth are opting for the new look, but hair designers are also giving people a similar look free of cost inspired by the pilot’s bravado.
The IAF pilot won the hearts of one and all after he shot down an F16 aircraft in a dogfight and the manner in which he carried himself with dignity on being held captive after his MIG 21 Bison was downed.
And a saloon in Rajarampuri area is doing its bit to hail wing commander Varthaman’s heroism, by offering a free haircut and shave to anyone who sports the gunslinger moustache.
Dhananjay Bhalekar, who runs a saloon named “Hair Affair”, has decided to celebrate the IAF pilot’s bravery in a unique manner.
“Everyone in the country is happy as ourpilot has returned safely from Pakistan. To celebrate this national moment of pride, I am offering a free hair cut and shave to anyone who sports a moustache like Abhinandan,” said Bhalekar who has displayed a board mentioning the offer outside his hair parlour.
Quoting barbers from various parts of the city, he said the gunslinger moustache has becoming a rage in youngsters in the country. With PTI inputs
