TV star Nakuul Mehta, as a part of the viral #MenInSkirts challenge (a social media challenge where men are wearing skirts to challenge gender stereotypes), shared a video with dancer Jainil Mehta and it will be fair to say that the video is winning the Internet. In his post, Nakuul Mehta revealed he first saw Jainil in a BRUT video "sashaying gloriously to Dholi Taro on the streets of New York a few months ago and was instantly drawn to his spirit and art," he wrote. The actor can be seen dancing to Hawaa Hawaa from Rockstar and he wrote in the caption, "That called for a celebration to one of our favourite songs." He added the hashtag #MenInSkirts.
Nakuul Mehta's friends from the TV industry gave the actor a huge shout out in the comments section. Karanvir Bohra commented, "Soo graceful." Gautami Kapoor wrote, "Too good." Mohena Kumari added, "So good." Amit Sadh dropped heart emojis. "Love Nakul Mehta on installing and in real," read Sargun Mehta's comment.
The Internet's verdict - the comments section passed the vibe check is one way to put it. "Thank you so much for breaking stereotypes," read a comment. "Two men unafraid of their masculinity," read a second. A third read, "Shattering the glass ceiling." Another one added, "Super cool, you are enjoying this fun aspect of dancing! Those skirts are the oomph factor." Another fan wrote, "Nakuul breaking stereotypes is a treat for us." Inputs from another user, "Nakul, you are winning hearts." Another one added, "Breaking the stereotypes and how! Nicely done." Here's another one, "Incredible, not just for the effort but the grace and confidence." Another one added, "Breaking stereotypes in style and with panache. I am so so so proud of you, Nakuul. You give me joy everyday with the choices that you make. The respect that you have for the 'art' of all forms, shapes and kinds. Dil le lo sir."
