Congress President Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday wowed the students of Stella Maris College in Chennai, where he was holding an interactive session with them. However, Gandhi advising a female student to not address him as sir has truly gone viral on social media.
During the interactive session, a female student from the department of finance identified herself as Azra but addressed him as ‘sir.’ Gandhi interrupted and said, “Please call me Rahul. I feel more comfortable.”
This evoked huge cheers from the audience. Azra continued as she introduced herself by addressing the Congress president as Rahul. Once again, the hall experienced loud cheering from students.
Later, some of the students said that they were very impressed by Gandhi’s informal style and his dress sense.
