The 81-year-old took to Twitter on Thursday to share how it was a “pleasure to meet children, and how a young Hamza Saifi taught him to click selfies.

Some concerned people cautioned Mukherjee against picking up ‘a bad habit at this age’.

Mukherjee launched one of India’s biggest selfie social scheme — ‘Selfie with Daughter’, as part of the Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao initiative, in June this year. The former president has been a regular on Twitter even after leaving office and has switched his Twitter handle to ‘Citizen Mukherjee’ to reflect his changed status.
