In the 90-second clip, we can see that when a cabin crew member recognises him, the others gather around him to get selfies. As soon as Sivan turns back after being greeted by everyone, all the passengers and staff in the flight applaud him.

It was not something people are used to seeing every day as it was not a Bollywood celebrity, but one amongst the few unsung heroes everyone was excited being around. Soon after this, Netizens took to Twitter to hail the national hero.

What a heartwarming welcome to ISRO chief #Sivan !

These are the proud moments of joy and warmth that makes you feel intensely alive👏👏pic.twitter.com/R9vb74G81J
