In the clip, Shahid is seen waiting in a queue when an elderly man insists that the actor move ahead to prevent a crowd from gathering around him.

The video quickly circulated on social media platforms, drawing numerous comments applauding both the elderly man's considerate nature and Shahid’s humble response.
