Angad Hasija: Make up for men is also a form of self expression

Gone are the days when make-up was considered a taboo for men. Men are now breaking free from traditional gender norms and are putting it on as a form of self-expression and confidence. Actor Angad Hasija, who has worked in shows such as 'Sapna Babul Ka...Bidaai' and currently seen in 'Kaise Mujhe Tum Mil Gaye', welcomes this move.

“I feel that the trend of men wearing make-up for shoots, events, parties, and public appearances is definitely becoming more common. Even we actors are supposed to apply make-up for shoots daily. So, it's a positive shift, as makeup is a form of self-expression and not limited to any one gender,” he says.

He says, “It’s true that male makeup is less talked about because of traditional gender norms and stereotypes that have long associated makeup with femininity. And these norms can create a stigma around men using makeup, making it seem taboo or unusual.”
