Reacting to the sweet gesture, a fan commented, “He asked him first ... He is a true gentleman.” Another fan said, “Ye banda puri Bollywood industry se alag hain (This man is different from the entire industry).” A comment read, “Aww, the fan was so happy.” “He's a talented actor and an even better person!” said another fan.
