Bengaluru: The entire country cheered with gusto as IAF pilot Abhinandan Varthaman’s returned home but what has caught the imagination of people is his swashbuckling gunslinger moustache and equally suave hairstyle. 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.
Many young men hoping to flaunt their admiration and also pay their tribute to the brave fighter pilot are heading to saloons to get the same catchy look sported by Varthaman. What is more, even saloons are quick to advertise offers for the same.
On Friday, the Wing Commander returned to India after two-days custody in Pakistan. His homecoming is being celebrated not only on social media but in several parts of the country through posters, slogans etc. “Wanna grow a moustache like IAF pilot Abhinandan Varthaman !!!,” wrote Debarshi on Facebook.
“Can we speak for a moment how amazing Wg Cdr Abhinandan Varthaman’s moustache is?,” Ken Dennis posted on micro-blogging site Twitter.”Captured Indian pilot + his mustache released, officially crosses border from Pakistan to India,” wrote Ian Bremmer on Twitter.
