It was a week ago when celebrity singer and host Fakhr-e-Alam along with many others had shared the photo from that particular flight on twitter.
“A friend onboard @Official_PIA ISD to KHI early morning flight yesterday shared this. A baby was crying nonstop, the mother was exhausted & stressed, she couldn’t comfort the child. So the head purser Mr.Tauheed helped the child sleep. Now that truly is GREAT people to fly with,” Fakhr-e-Alam wrote.
