During an interview, Abhey Singh, also known as 'IITian Baba', explained the reason why he shaved his beard, saying that he does so every 2-3 months. "I had told Mahadev last night that I'll shave tomorrow...so I got it done today," he added. Recently, Singh was expelled from the Juna Akhara at the Maha Kumbh Mela over allegations of indiscipline.
