Bollywood actor Aamir Khan is making headlines for a pretty heartening reason.

Fans lauded Khan on social media for his humility
The video, which was posted by paparazzi Instagram account 'viralbhayani', has several comments lauding Khan for his humility.
"It's actual class of simplicity," wrote one Instagram user. "Amir bhai masha allah u are real hero economy class," commented another.
Well, since Khan was in an IndiGo aircraft, which has class-less cabins, he technically wasn't flying economy, he was just not flying business class.

Do you know?
Why did Khan say no to business class?
Fans speculated that Khan probably had to fly with IndiGo because of the Jet Airways crisis. But it could be anything like he's probably running low on cash since Thugs of Hindostan flopped or that he's not a classist idiot like the rest of us.
