Danish was quite popular on Instagram with 876K followers. As soon as his death news went viral, the number of followers increased rapidly. Not only his followers on Instagram had increased to 1.5 million in a span of just two days, his Youtube account too witnessed a surge in the number of subscribers as it went from 328K to 550K. However, Danish's fans were too disappointed when they learnt that his Instagram account has been deleted. Not just fans but his his family too requested Instagram to restore his account. It seems that Danish's brother has even sent mails but haven't got any response yet.

So, TV Producer and Ace of Space host Vikas Gupta took to social media to post a video (created by MTV) as a tribute to Danish Zehen and appealed everyone to request Instagram to reinstate the latter's account as it would help his family. Vikas wrote on Instagram, "Tribute by @mtvindia for @danish_zehen It's a request to @instagram to please reinstate #danishzehen Instagram account. His family has sent emails and tried contacting but there is no response so far."

He further added, "This is very important for his family and people who love him 🙏 please share this and tag @instagram on comments so that they take into notice. His brother is trying a lot from his side but I think when the number of people increase they will have to notice and take an action. #Coolestbadboi #zehen #aceofspace My #houseguest P.S. please come together to help his family #lostsouls" we hope that Instagram take their request and reinstate Danish's account.
