Aasif Khan says ‘men without moustaches aren’t real men’, internet reminds him: ‘Salman Khan is also clean-shaven’

The comment was challenged inside the house and drew divided reactions online, with viewers criticizing the link between moustaches and masculinity.

  • Actor Aasif Khan sparked controversy on Bigg Boss by claiming men without moustaches are not "real men" during a captaincy task, drawing immediate pushback from housemates and viewers.
  • Aasif made the comments while defending fellow contestant Yung DSA after Gullu questioned his captaincy bid, arguing his moustache is a cultural marker from Rajasthan.
  • Contradicting Aasif's assertion, viewers pointed out that host Salman Khan is clean-shaven. Khan had recently called Aasif the "epitome of badtameezi" during Weekend Ka Vaar for aggressive conduct.
  • Social media users described Aasif's thinking as a "sick mentality," with critics arguing true masculinity involves family values rather than aggression. Saima Siddiqui shared a post on the debate.
  • The comment could become a topic of discussion during the upcoming Weekend Ka Vaar. Public reaction remains divided between those viewing it as cultural defense and those criticizing Aasif's statement.
