The Chandrayaan 2 mission wouldn’t have been possible without ISRO Chairman Kailasavadivoo Sivan who is now no less than a hero for the country. Recently, he boarded an Indigo flight and was travelling economy class, reports sources. However, on entering the airplane, K Sivan was in for a treat!

In a video that has been going viral, the ISRO Chief received a warm welcome by the cabin crew of the flight. He was greeted with warm handshakes and humble selfie requests. On turning to go to his seat, he received a round of applause from his fellow passengers. His smile on being widely recognised and lauded is precious!

What is really hartening is the young cabin crew of @IndiGo6E recognising a real hero and giving Mr.#Sivan every bit of respect and a hero's welcome he deserves. Truly the young Bharath is changing.

To witness a scientist being hailed with the same respect and getting a hero’s welcome as an actor or a sportsperson is a breath of fresh air. Times are changing, people!
