With pride in her voice, the flight attendant welcomed S Somanath and urged other passengers to do the same for the “national hero.”

He received a loud round of applause from the other passengers and crew members after the words of appreciation. Some turned to look at the renowned scientist as well. A different flight attendant was seen giving him some small gifts and a note of appreciation, which he receives with a smile.
