Imran Khan is not known for hiding his feelings, a trait that has often landed him in trouble.
In his political rallies, he was seen slapping, pushing and shoving his aides and workers, always providing his critics with something that could always be used to intensify their campaign against him.
In the run up to election, TV footage showed him slapping one of his party candidates. Khan survived the criticism and went on to become prime minister of the country.
But after assuming office of the prime minister, he seems to have shed his skin. From his maiden address to the nation to his appearance at the Defence Day ceremony, people have seen a new Khan whose gentle manners belies a steely core.
His presence at any ceremony that is broadcast by TV channels keeps the people glued to screens.
After such appearances, his supporters often use social media to post screenshots of Imran Khan with compliments.
From his attire to the way he carries himself nothing is overlooked by his fans.
Few would have noticed that Khan struggled to hold back his tears at the General Headquarters where martyrs who laid down their lives to protect their nation were being remembered in the presence of their families.
But his supporters made sure nobody misses the scene in which Khan tries to hold back his tears.
They have taken to all the social media platforms to post pictures of the moment, taking pride in their leader who they think understands the price the fallen heroes and their families have paid to protect the future of their nation and share their grief.
