“There is a child in each of us. Please treat this young lady with respect,” he posted along with a smiley on Instagram to save the lady from the ire of his followers.

To this, one admirer replied, “You are a truly,” and another fan wrote, “Wonderful reply, sir.”

In no time, his comment received 4,000 ‘likes’ and the gentleman became a ‘Hero’ again.

In the image posted on Instagram, he is seen sitting cross legged on the floor with a smile on his face.

“This wonderful online family is not what I expected when I joined Instagram and I have you to thank for it,” he wrote along with the picture. The post has received more than 3.7 lakh likes.
