‘Some words spoken by me during my seminar have hurt people. I just want to say one thing….that these are professional workshops. They are attended by people from our profession. When these sessions get very long, we have to make them humorous. If you are hurt, I apologise from the bottom of my heart. Please forgive me, I’m sorry’, Jawed says in the apology video.
According to officials, a private event on hair care was organised in Muzaffarnagar’s King Villa Hotel four days ago at which Jawed Habib was the chief guest. In the clip, he can be seen combing the hair of a woman, who has now been identified as Pooja Gupta and asking participants to listen to him carefully. He then goes on to say that if there is a scarcity of water, the hairdresser can use his spit to wet the hair and goes on to spit into Gupta’s hair. When the crowd reacts, he says ‘Is thuk mein jaan hai (There’s power in this spit)’.

Reportedly, Habib was attempting to humiliate the lady throughout the session as she raised some questions to him during the seminar. At a point, Habib even slammed her, saying that he runs 900 salons, whereas she just ran one. To embarrass her further, the stylist called her on to the stage for a demonstration during which he spat into her hair, saying it can be substituted for water at times.
So this is what #JavedHabib spit fiasco is all about: Habib seems to be an arrogant man who, when asked some questions by Puja Gupta during his seminar, told her he runs 900 salons whereas she runs just 1. Then, to humiliate her further, he called her on stage & spit in her hair pic.twitter.com/V4l2fA6Vbu
