Faizal Khan, more popularly known as ‘Khan Sir ’ for his game-changing online teaching classes that have helped thousands of poor students across the country get jobs, was carrying a record 7,000 rakhis on his arm that were tied as a mark of love and respect by his women students on the festival of Raksha Bandhan.

In return, Khan Sir hosted his students in Patna. In the images posted on social media, ‘Khan Sir’ is seen with his entire arm supporting Rakhis tied by his students.

Raksha Bandhan is a Hindu festival, and, also - popular among other Indians – in celebration of the brother-sister bond.

Khan Sir has turned to coaching for competitive examinations for jobs and made it affordable for the sections of society who found such courses beyond their reach. He charges only a fraction of the amount charged by the big brands and thus institutes changed the scenario.

The viral clip shows hundreds of students waiting in long lines to tie rakhi to "Khan Sir".
