Social media influencers are always on the hunt for content that grabs attention, sometimes crossing lines just to go viral. Delhi-based fitness influencer Piku Singh has sparked a wave of concern and criticism after sharing a video where she is seen sprinting dangerously close to a moving train.
The reel, captioned “Running with train”, shows Singh matching her pace with a fast-moving train just a few feet away from the tracks. While it definitely delivers on adrenaline, the internet wasn’t impressed — many felt the stunt was reckless and unnecessary.
The comment section quickly filled up with people voicing their concerns. One user warned, “Thoda idhar udhar ho gyi toh dikkat ho jaayegi… Please don’t try this again (If things go even a little off track, it’ll be a problem).” Another user wrote, “Perfect example of unawareness of Physics.”
A third user commented, “Video k liye jaan daao pe naa lagao behen… Life is precious… Run on field only (Don’t put your life on stake for videos).”
And of course, the internet never misses a chance to drop a nickname—someone dubbed her the “Indian Flash”.
With over 18,000 followers on Instagram under the handle @runfitpiku, Piku Singh is known for posting running videos from various spots around Delhi. Her content usually promotes fitness and motivates her followers to stay active. But this time, the attempt to inspire may have backfired, with many urging her to consider safety over stunts.
