Netizens shower praises on Shah Rukh Khan after seeing THIS gesture towards a ‘shy’ ISRO scientist

Shah Rukh Khan was recently awarded the CNN-News18 'Indian of the Year' (IOTY) awards for his seamless contribution in the fields of arts and entertainment. When Shah Rukh Khan takes centrestage, can there be a dull moment even for a second?

Well, this was exactly how the whole atmosphere was when Shah Rukh Khan was being awarded the coveted award. It was during this event when Shah Rukh Khan also met a bunch of Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) scientists. And when it was time for everyone to stand for a group photograph, Shah Rukh Khan did something for a specific ISRO employee, which garnered immense praise for the King Khan from the Redditt users.

What had happened was that, at the time of group photograph, while everyone was posing, Palanivel Veeramuthuvel (who was the Project Director of the Chandrayaan-3 mission), offered Shah Rukh Khan his place, since he was feeling shy. After doing so, he went to stand at the back. Seeing him do that, Shah Rukh Khan, being the gentleman that he is, brought Palanivel in the front. This action of Shah Rukh Khan just did not go unnoticed, especially by the Reddit users.
