Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant hosted a sparkling sangeet on Friday night, which saw several Bollywood A-listers queuing up at the NMACC. Salman Khan won hearts by showing his gracious side towards social media influencer Radhika Seth.

In a video, which has emerged on social media, Salman is seen showing his kind side by letting Radhika pose for the paparazzi first at the sangeet ceremony venue. Even though Radhika insisted that he should go ahead, Salman refused in a friendly way and waited patiently, giving her the chance to shine.

Gracious Salman

The actor kept it simple and stylish at the outing. He wore a classic black tuxedo and flaunted a statement brooch. In the video, when he is about to enter the venue, the actor is seen spotting Radhika Merchant, following which he asks her to go before him.

He is then seen waiting as she poses for the paparazzi before heading to the party. It is only after she has gone inside, Salman entered the venue among huge cheers by the photographers present at the venue.

Internet in awe

His gesture towards the lady won hearts with people taking to social media to appreciate him. “Wow Salman told her to go first,” wrote one user, with another writing, “And take note when Salman let the girl enter first and gave her respect and appreciation. He is a true gentleman, in the true sense of the word, a decent man who respects women before he respects himself”.

“Respect button for salman khan,” shared another. “Salman is always respectful, always,” posted one. One comment read, “Big brother salman khan”. “My handsome man,” exclaimed another.
