Squadron Leader Abhimanyu Rai, who tragically died in service last December, was named after Khan's character in the iconic television series Fauji. His mother, Chitralekha Rai, yearned to meet the actor and share the story behind their son's name.

Touched by the request, Khan interacted with Abhimanyu's parents, Group Captain Amitabh Rai and Chitralekha Rai. Team Saath later shared their gratitude on X, stating, "Thank you @iamsrk for giving your time... That is why you are THE KING. Your gesture has filled their lives with hope and an ambition to bring his life story in front of the World."
Khan's act of compassion resonated deeply with fans and netizens alike. Social media was flooded with messages praising his genuine kindness and sensitivity. Fans lauded him as "King Khan" for living up to his reputation and expressed their admiration for his "silent work."
