The woman on whose hair Jawed spat on during the workshop is identified as Pooja Gupta, a beauty parlour owner. She recounted her experience on social media and wrote, “Yesterday, I attended a workshop of Jawed Habib. He invited me to the stage for a haircut. He said if there is no water, you can use saliva. From now onwards, I will go to my street-side barber for a haircut, but will not go to Habib.”
The National Commission for Women has asked the UP Police to immediately investigate the accuracy of the video and take appropriate action.
Following the criticism, Habib took to Instagram to explain the reason behind his action and apologize.
