More than 15,000 female students tied him rakhi as they joined the massive celebration hosted by Khan Sir. The videos and photos from the gathering have also gone viral on social media.
In an Instagram video posted on his account Khan Global Studies on August 9, he shared that over 15,000 female students had tied rakhis on him as he showcased the strong bond he shared with his students.

“Today, the number of rakhis tied to my wrist was more than 15,000. These rakhis are so heavy that I am not even able to raise my hand. Iss kalyug mein hum itne saubhagyashali hai (I am so fortunate to have such an experience in today’s day and age). How do I even get up? This is so heavy,” Khan Sir can be heard saying in Hindi in the video.
He went on to thank his students for appreciating and trusting him, not just as a tutor, but also as a brother figure, irrespective of the difference in religion.
“In this Kaliyug, I am so fortunate that so many Rakhis have been tied to me. Now, how will I get up?,” he said. Khan Sir also announced a crash course worth Rs 99 as a gift for his sisters and as a token of appreciation.

Raksha Bandhan is a festival that celebrates the sibling bond, where sisters tie a sacred thread (rakhi) around their brothers’ wrists as a symbol of love, trust, and protection. Brothers promise to protect their sisters and offer gifts or tokens of appreciation to them in return.
