As soon as the video went viral, the woman in the video came forward to talk about her bad experience. She uploaded a video where she said, "My name is Pooja Gupta, I run a parlour named Vanshika beauty parlour and am a resident of Baraut. I attended Javed Habib sir's seminar yesterday. He had invited me for a haircut on stage and he misbehaved a lot. He was showing if you do not have water you can use your spit as well. I did not get my haircut done. I would get my haircut from any local shop but never from Javed Habib." NCW Chief Rekha Sharma also posted the video on her Twitter handle and wrote, "We have already taken it up."
We have already taken it up. https://t.co/ugnVBaaVZs
