The pantry employee, after receiving this request enquired if Akhtar was asking for the tea later because of his roza. When Akhtar confirmed that he was fasting, the employee ended up sending an entire iftar to him. A picture of the same was shared on Twitter by Akhtar who wrote, "Thank you #IndianRailways for the #Iftar." The picture shows Akhtar's plate filled with fruits such as grapes, bananas, apples, along with some other snacks. Check out the full post here:
