Bond it like bearded men: A contest in Gurgaon that celebrated facial hair

November would possibly have ended however it's still all no-shave for those gents, who gathered at Gurgaon’s Cyber Hub on Sunday evening for the National Beard and Moustache Championship 2018. The annual event saw participation from over 50 individuals from across India, who competed in categories like Great Indian Moustache, Best Handlebar Moustache, Best Full Beard, Best Grey and Black Beard and Longest Beard. The contestants got here from numerous backgrounds and age teams, starting from 20-year-old aspiring fashions to octogenarian former spies and a few customs officials and doctors. Chandraprakash Vyas, a contestant from Bikaner who's preparing for the World Beard Championship, instructed us, “I've been growing my beard for over 3 years now and I need to constitute India on an international level.”

Suresh Sherdil Chopra, the oldest contestant in the box, claimed that he was a former undercover agent and diplomat. “The moniker ‘Sherdil’ was given to me through former Pakistan Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto when I used to be posted there. I participated in the event today as I imagine there is not any age limit to feeling young and staying satisfied,” he mentioned.

Many contestants had travelled from as far as Maharashtra and Telangana. Sunil Dutt Vyas, 55, who got here from Mumbai and competed in the Best Grey and Black Beard category, mentioned, “I started growing my beard final 12 months after the fad of facial hair caught on. People say yeh toh young logon ke shauk hain however I say – young persons are at a disadvantage now that I'm here with my appeal.” Manoj Pancharia, a 49-year-old from Nashik, added, “When I was clean-shaven, my social media lifestyles was non-existent. But with this beard, there is a flurry of buddy requests from ladies every day. Ab toh 5,000 paar ho gayi hain toh requests bhi nahi aatin.” For maximum, the competition was a solution to have a laugh and community with like-minded other people. “Growing a beard and keeping up this is a process. So, it’s good to fulfill people who share that keenness. In the tip, it is all nice a laugh. When do you get such special treatment on account of your beard?” added Haryana-based anchor Himanshu.
