External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj, easily a favourite on Twitter, has won hearts again with not just her prompt response, but the tone of her tweet.

A newly married young man Faizan Patel who had planned a honeymoon to Europe, got a nasty shock when he learnt that his wife Sana's passport was missing.

But Faizan did the unusal. He went ahead without his wife on his honeymoon and tweeted this picture inside the aircraft. He wrote, "@faizanpatel This is how I am travelling with my wife as of now. @SushmaSwaraj @MEAIndia @MEAQuery."

Faizan pinned his wife's picture on the empty seat next to him which should have been occupied by her and asked the minister for help.

As expected, Sushma Swaraj responded promptly, saying, "@SushmaSwaraj Ask your wife to contact me. I will ensure that she is with you on the next seat. pic.twitter.com/sktnOMkg0a @faizanpatel."

Easily one of PM Modi's most effective and popular ministers, Sushma Swaraj has always helped Indians stranded in distant lands.  

Faizan's story reminds of Huma Mobin, a Pakistani woman, who went on a honeymoon to  Greece without her husband Arsalaan Mobin when he was refused a visa. The pictures she posted almost broke the internet. Take a look at the story here.
