A video snippet of actor Ranveer Singh smothering Bear Grylls with kisses is making the internet want to wash its face immediately. The video captures a moment from the recent Netflix interactive special Ranveer vs Wild with Bear Grylls, in which the actor went on a jungle adventure with the famed British TV presenter, hunting for a rare flower to take back to his wife, Deepika Padukone.

The snippet shows Ranveer and Bear Grylls in a helicopter above the wilderness. A relieved Ranveer plants kisses on the visibly uncomfortable adventurer’s face, much to the shock of viewers. “Probably the scariest moment of Bear Grylls’ life,” one Instagram user captioned the clip, sharing it online and sparking a meme-fest.

More humorous reactions to the clip included memes featuring Deepika Padukone, and comedian Zakir Khan saying, “Yeh hamara ladka nahi hai (We don’t know this man).” Another person wrote, “I’ve seen this man drink his own piss out of a snake carcass… and he looked more comfortable doing that.”
