Celebrities like Ranveer Singh, Ayushmann Khurrana, and Zayn Malik have also helped the practice enter the mainstream, further contributing to the dissemination of the practice. This shift forms part of a broader movement of celebrating diversity, breaking stereotypes, and challenging men to express themselves in fashion in dynamic and colorful ways.

It's not just celebrities that are spearheading this trend; websites like Tumblr have blogs like Cute Boys with Nose Rings, where the rising popularity of the look is indicated in the reblogs and notes.
