Fashion and lifestyle creator Ankush Bahuguna recently shared a disturbing experience from London on social media. Known for challenging gender stereotypes through makeup, fashion, and self-expression, Ankush revealed that he faced homophobic remarks while walking on the streets wearing a bright pink outfit.

On May 17, the influencer posted a video on Instagram titled “Homophobia on the streets of London,” where he documented the uncomfortable incident. Alongside the clip, he wrote, “What weak, insecure men sound like.”

The video showed groups of men shouting comments and mocking him over his appearance. One of the remarks heard in the clip was, “Welcome to the parade,” suggesting that his outfit became a reason for ridicule.

Reacting to the incident, Ankush said, "It’s 2026 for f***’s sake and this is what happens on the street if you just wear pink," before adding, "You think this is London, it would be more progressive, more open-minded... clearly not."
