The winter season calls for a trip to the mountains for many people. The snow-covered peaks of North India offer travellers a chance to live out their winter fantasies, including recreating moments from
Hindi films by dancing in a sari in freezing temperatures. However, the effort proved too much for two women, whose quest to gain online views with a dramatic video in the cold weather backfired. The women had to be given medical help in order to help them recover.
The visuals of the reel and their worsened medical condition have been circulating on Instagram. The incidents have sparked discussion on social media about how people can risk their lives for the sake of creating viral videos. The time and location of the happenings were not mentioned.
