Muzaffarnagar: A case was filed against celebrity hairstylist Jawed Habib after a video in which he can be seen spitting on a woman’s hair while styling it during a workshop in Uttar Pradesh’s Muzaffarnagar on January 3 went viral on Thursday.
In the video, Habib can be heard telling the audience, “If there is a shortage of water, use saliva”. While apologising later, he said that the act was done to add “humour” to the lengthy session.
