Filmed from an abandoned building near Pune’s Swami Narayan Temple, it shows a girl hanging from the terrace while holding a boy’s hand.

The footage opened, showing the girl stepping down to the other side of the structure and hanging in the air. The girl was seen smiling during the stunt. The dangerous scene didn’t seem to have the protection and necessary safety arrangements at place.

As the video surfaced online, it has received backlash over the foolish attempt which could have claimed the girl’s life over any negligence. “God knows what is going wrong with the teen crowd…” said Internet users while condemning this reel. People termed it “Crazy” and asked police to take action against the concerning reel.

Cricket Analyst Aakash Chopra also reacted to the video and wrote on X, “What’s wrong with these people??? Common sense is genuinely not common anymore.” Tamil filmmaker and screenwriter Adi commented on the video by dropping a tear-drop emoji, as he said, “People are ready to risk life for reels…” Trade analyst Sudhir Kothari, meanwhile, added to the replies, and wrote, “Reels ne barbad karke rakh diya hai (reels have ruined things).”
