I so love your turban! Is it all one piece? Or do you have a cheeky way of adding the rainbow colors? If the former, that is some seriously skilled tying going on there!

In 2018, Kohli was a competitor on the fourth season of the ABC baking contest, which was a spinoff on its UK counterpart, ¡®The Great British Baking Show¡¯. Kohli made it to the semifinals but did not win the show.
He also runs a website called ¡®Bearded baker Co.¡¯ where he shows off his culinary skills along with recipes for those who want to try to make the food at home. The site¡¯s logo has an image of Kohli wearing his rainbow turban.
Pride month that kicked off on June 1 honours the LGBTQIA+ community to commemorate the Stonewall riots, which occurred at the end of June 1969. As a result, many pride events are held during this month to recognize the impact LGBT people have had in the world.
