The IPS officer captioned the photo as, “Jab ek Manoj dusre Manoj ko apni Filmfare trophy dikhaane laata hai, tab uss par aur bhi pyaar aata hai (When one Manoj brings his Filmfare trophy to show another Manoj, then the love for him increases).” Sharing the same photo to his Instagram story, Massey called Sharma as the “asli hero (real hero).”
