Ibrahim Ali Khan, who recently made his acting debut with Sarzameen, is being lauded online for a thoughtful interaction with a specially-abled fan. The young actor attended the premiere of his film on Thursday night in Mumbai and looked dapper in an all-black ensemble. While the event was star-studded, it was Ibrahim's heartwarming gesture that truly stole the spotlight. In a viral video posted by paparazzo Viral Bhayani, Ibrahim is seen exiting a suburban theatre after the premiere. As he prepares to leave, a fan with a hearing and speech impairment approaches him for a photo. Ibrahim, without hesitating, engages with the fan using sign language. The video shows Ibrahim patiently conversing with the fan and even advising him to 'go home and sleep." The fan, touched by the moment, tries to share his home address with Ibrahim by showing it on Google Maps. Ibrahim waits, looks at the location, shares a warm hug with the fan, and then heads to his car.

He further added, 'My speech is something that I've had to work hard on since I was a child, with coaches and therapists. It's not perfect; I'm still working really hard on it."

Watch: Young Boy Takes Blind Pizza Taste Test, Guesses Their Chain Stores Like A Pro

The world of food is full of delightful surprises, from the perfect bite of a burger to the most decadent chocolate desserts. But every now and then, we come across something that truly defies expectations. In a similar awe-inspiring video shared on Instagram, an 8-year-old boy flaunted his skills to pinpoint the exact pizza chain store behind each delicious pie he tasted. If that's not impressive enough, he did it all while blindfolded. In the video, George's father asks him to decide on an activity. Without hesitation, the young boy replies he would like to do a blind taste test where he tastes pizzas and guesses what store it came from. The next scene shows him sitting on a counter with a blindfold on. For the first pizza, he recognises the "small crust" of the pie by touch. He adds, "I taste an olive in there, is it Olive Garden?," correctly guessing the first pizza store. He rates it 50/50. Next, George takes a pizza slice in hand and mentions that its "long and pointy at the top," declaring it to be from Dominoes. His parents tell him that he is correct and ask for a rating. He rates it a "thumbs up out of 10". Not surprisingly, George guesses the remaining 3 pizzas from Pizza Hut, Little Ceasers and Papa John's correctly. His mother exclaims, "You read pizzas better than words." View this post on Instagram A post shared by Ashley Seely (@thedashleys) Pizza lovers were impressed with young boy's pizza knowledge. Take a look at the comments: One user wrote, "George has been waiting for this opportunity his whole life." Another added, "Thought he was just pulling dad's leg to get tons of pizza. Turns out, this kid reads pizza like it's braille." "Kid's a pizza Sommelier," read a comment. A viewer penned, "Bro had a super power he's been wanting to show the world."
