Netizens praise SRK for politely greeting crowd after meeting son Aryan Khan in jail

Mumbai: Bollywood star Shah Rukh Khan who, on Thursday, was spotted at Mumbai's Arthur Road Jail, to meet his son Aryan Khan, has been winning over the Internet for showing love and respect to people outside the jail, even in the face of adversity.

The actor was visiting the jail to meet his son for the first time since he was arrested in a drug case by the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) on October 2.

Netizens couldn't help but notice SRK's gesture when he was leaving the jail after meeting Aryan. He greeted the crowd sitting outside the jail with folded hands, not once but twice, though the actor didn't address the media reporters stationed outside the jail.

Taking to social media several people showed their support for the star and commemorated his heartfelt gesture.

A user tweeted, "How difficult it is to be SRK, taking care of the feelings of others even in your pain and also u have to smile !! Proud to be fan of unbreakable KING @iamsrk"
