A video circulating on social media features a group of girls in Indore rallying under the slogan “Remove Beard, Save Love.” This quirky event, reported by the Free Press Journal, shows the girls brandishing placards that advocate for clean-shaven boyfriends, complete with humorous messages such as “No Clean Shave, No Love” and “Keep a Beard or Keep a Girlfriend, the Choice is Yours.”

Mixed reactions from the online community
While the rally has attracted waves of laughter and entertainment from many, others are sceptical, labelling it as nothing more than a publicity stunt designed for social media engagement.
