A video that went viral on social media shows the girl lying on the ground as people rush to help and take her to the hospital. As they lifted her, she cried out in pain, repeatedly asking her mother to call her father, saying, “Maa, Papa ko bula do.” (Mom, please call papa).
In the video, the girl’s mother can be heard scolding her for her obsession with making reels, saying, “Bahut gandi ladki hai, apne maa-baap ka naam kharab karegi.” (She is a very bad girl; she will spoil the name of her parents). Reports indicate that the girl was taken to the hospital in time and is now out of danger but is receiving treatment for her injuries.
Witnesses were shocked by the sight of the girl’s condition. Some commented on her critical state, noting that her leg appeared to be broken from the fall.
Several incidents like this have occurred where people have suffered serious injuries or even lost their lives while making reels.
A few weeks ago, social media influencer Aanvi Kamdar died while making content for social media. The 27-year-old fell down 350 feet from a hillock near the Kumbhe waterfall in Maharashtra while filming a reel.
