Earlier, passengers would lean out of train windows for fresh air. Nowadays, so-called social media stars risk their lives for views. In a viral video, a young woman wearing a hijab performs a perilous stunt by hanging from the open doorway of a moving train, narrowly dodging pillars in a cinematic “death dance.”
The clip shows her swinging half her body outside the train, swaying dangerously close to obstacles. At first, she appears confident that nothing will go wrong. Moments later, her head slams into a fast-approaching pillar. The video cuts abruptly, with reports claiming the person filming dropped the camera to help her.
Social media users have expressed outrage, calling the stunt reckless and life-threatening not just for the performer but also for others. “Such stunts are fatal,” one wrote. “Fate itself decides their fate when no action is taken,” another commented.
The Indian Railways has repeatedly warned against such acts, vowing strict legal action against offenders. While the video is believed to be from outside India, safety advocates stress that such risks are unacceptable anywhere.
The video, shared from the account @saritasulaniya2. Some mocked the act “She has become a train now,” joked one user while others condemned it outright.
