"Darhi rakho ya GF:" Girls in India protest for beardless boyfriends

A bizarre protest rally held by college and university girls in India's Indore has taken social media by storm.

The girls, dressed in pants and shirts, symbolically donned beards on their faces, demanding "clean-shaven boyfriends for love".

Videos of the protest show the girls holding placards with slogans and chanting catchy phrases.

"Beard Rakho ya GF Rakho, Choice Tumhari Hai," one of the placards read.

"No Clean Shave, No Love," the other poster held the words.

"We want clean-shaven boyfriends!" the girls shouted in unison.

The protest sparked a mix of amusement and curiosity online. Netizens flooded social media with hilarious comments.

While some saw it as a lighthearted expression of preference, others believed it might be a publicity campaign.

However, the reasons behind the protest remain unclear.
