Later Pooja Gupta, an owner of a beauty parlor, who was used as a prop during the workshop broke her silence in the video. \u201d I attended the workshop of Jawed Habib sir. He invited me on the stage to give me a haircut. He said if there is no water in your parlor, you can use spit. I did not get my haircut. It\u2019s better I will go to my streetside barber and get a hair cut, but won\u2019t go to Habib\u2019s,\u201d Pooja Gupta said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Talking to TV channels, the woman said she went to the workshop to learn new things. \u201cHe called me to the stage to teach hair cutting. He pushed my head, I objected and said I have cervical issues. Then he spat twice on my hair and said that if you don\u2019t have water in your parlor then you can spit. My husband was making the video. Later Habib\u2019s assistant said he was just joking,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
