AKA *drum roll* The mysterious case of the disappearing stubble! 😆
We went from this when he was in the car outside Preeta's home...

...to this when he reached home...

Because. Because they're Luthras and they shave in the car.
Or travel around with a personal groomer who does it for them. In the car.
Or he stopped at a barbers on his way back home.
Or he is a magician.
On a completely different note, I prefer men with stubble. Not that Manit looks bad without it, he's equally good looking. But I'd still rather have him with it.
Oh and yes, I do know it must be due to this movie commitments. 😉
