From Nakuul Mehta To Vijay Varma, These Actors Challenge Toxic Masculinity With Style!
They're breaking the norms!

For the longest time, the style has been divided by gender but things have been changing over the past few years. Gone are the days when men only wore pants and women only wore skirts. We’re in the era of genderless fashion, style and beauty. While actresses show up in suits, actors show up in skirts and flaunt nail paint these days. Recently, Bade Achhe Lagte Hain star Nakuul Mehta shared a picture of his gender-fluid mehendi and we decided to take a look back at all the times actors challenged toxic masculinity with style!
Ranveer Singh
TBH, the actor is the one who started the trend of genderless fashion in India. Ranveer Singh’s masculinity isn’t hurt by him wearing pink or wearing a skirt for that matter!

Ayushmann Khurrana
The actor is one the most secure actors and doesn’t shy away from cross-dressing for a film (I mean, he did Dream Girl and has Dream Girl 2 coming up) or wearing a nose ring or just painting his nails!

Nakuul Mehta
Apart from the gender-fluid mehendi, the Ishqbaaz actor once wore a skirt and grooved alongside content creator and dancer Jainil Mehta who is known for dancing on the streets dressed in a skirt. And oh boy, the two men had more grace than any of us could ever even imagine!

Phone Bhoot actor Ishaan Khatter wears whatever he wants like a boss and that also includes his favourite accessories because why should only girls be allowed to accessorise?

Aamir Khan
Sure, he’s not the most well-dressed star we’ve known but this doesn’t mean that Aamir Khan has broken the norms. Remember when the actor had his nose ring phase? That’s gutsy and we totally love him for slapping toxic masculinity in the face!
We’re total fans of these actors who are breaking gender norms and gendered fashion one look at a time!
