Lucknow/IBNS: A police case has been filed against celebrity hair stylist Jawed Habib for spitting on a woman's head during a seminar in western Uttar Pradesh's Muzaffarnagar, media reports said.

The incident occurred earlier this week.

A complaint has been lodged by the woman, named Pooja Gupta, on whose head Habib had spitted.

She had later recounted the experience on social media and said, "Yesterday, I attended a workshop of Jawed Habib. He invited me to the stage for a haircut. He said if there is no water, you can use saliva."

"From now onwards, I will go to my street-side barber for a haircut, but will not go to Habib," Gupta, who runs a beauty parlour, added.

National Commission for Women (NCW) chairperson Rekha Sharma has asked the Uttar Pradesh Police "to immediately investigate the veracity of this viral video and take appropriate action".

Following the controversy, Habib took to Instagram to explain his action besides apologizing for the incident.

In a video, the hairstylist said he wanted to add humour to the seminar.

"These professional seminars used to go on for a long time. So we had to add humour to it. If you are hurt by my actions, forgive me. I am sorry from the bottom of my heart."
