Anil Kapoor is one of the most loved and respected actors in Bollywood. Often called a people’s actor, Anil had a humble beginning and had to work very hard to prove his worth in Indian cinema. However, more than Anil’s professional highs, the actor is known for his humble nature, and a recent episode is proof of the same.
The handsome actor received huge applause for his gesture on a recent flight. Taking to her LinkedIn, entrepreneur, Shikha Mittal posted a note on how actor, Anil Kapoor helped her during a turbulent flight. Revealing how her co-passenger, Anil Kapoor held her hand when she got anxious during the take-off and wrote:
“The moment flight took off, the luggage box above me opened and started flapping. The flight got turbulent right at the take-off. I have always been bad on flights. In 2022 I developed added fears due to a health condition I am going through because of vaccine/covid (cause unknown). The moment I kept my hand on the divider in the middle of the two seats, my co-passenger held my hand and said ‘Hey it’s ok. Tell me your name. Let’s talk’”.
