Though, Gobind Singh Mehta's body-length digits could be higher than most, his thick, fat beard is no droop either. One look, and you'd notice his constant efforts in keeping it hydrated, lustrous, slightly unkempt; but always tamed. Short story, cut shorter: in no way is he aiming at a run-wild beard. So clearly, with top-notch abilities and a model-like mug, we were almost forced to interrogate his facial hair adventures.

For our second edition of '30 Days 30 Beards', Mehta gives us a low down on his big bro, the beard.

Do You Think Beards Are Overrated? 

To be frank, beards are anything but overrated—the entire fashion/grooming industry lives off variants of it. Having said that, the demand for a bearded man will never diminish. Plus, nothing in the world yet, has been able to match the impact a beard makes.

Has Growing A Beard Changed Your Life?

Realistically, no. However, it has certainly affected how people perceive me in public (for the good). 

What Made You Grow It In The First Place? 

You know, that point in your life, when you're curious and battling a never-satisfied-soul—that's when I decided to grow a beard. Besides, since beards soon became a trend, I somehow wanted to rain on the parade!

Do Women Dig The Beard Or Clean-Shaven Men?

What women want is like science to me: I don't get it. But yes, if I was aware their preferences, I would have definitely stuck to beard styles that please them the most.

Razor Or Trimmer? And How Often...

Razor! For me, it's all about going hard (a big, fat beard) or going home (clean-shaven).

Ever Tried Beard Oils, Shampoos, Conditioners Etc?

Of course—beard shampoos and wax.

Your Best And Worst Beard Phase? 

I enjoyed trying the Conor McGregor beard! Let's call that my best phase, it suited me the best. However, I faced my worst when I happened to get inspired by 'Cast Away', and literally managed to cast everyone away.
