As the number of people sharing the images increased, celebrities and politicians too joined in, sharing images in their favourite six-yard using the same hashtags #sareeTwitter and #SareeSwag on social media.

However, not to be outdone, men too, it seems have are showing off their facial hair, with #beardtwitter becoming the new viral thing on social media.

One of the first people to join the trend was politician and National spokesperson of Indian National Congress, Sanjay Jha, who shared his picture, in which he can be seen rocking the beard-look and wrote, "#beardtwitter? Well, time to join the party, I guess."
