She tried to go viral with a train reel, but her mum's tight thappad stole the show; Netizens say 'good job, aunty!'
In the age of social media fame and dangerous stunts for likes, a mother's no-nonsense parenting has gone more viral than the reckless reel her daughter tried to shoot. A recent video capturing this dramatic yet heartening moment is making waves online, sparking widespread conversations about parenting, content creation, and the rising risks of chasing online fame. Influencer's Train Stunt Turns into a Safety Lesson The viral clip, originally shared by @mr_rahul_razz on Instagram and now circulating across platforms, shows 21-year-old influencer Saiba attempting to film a reel while standing at the open door of a moving train. With over two million followers, she likely aimed to create a thrilling visual for her audience. But what happened next stole the spotlight. Her mother, witnessing the dangerous act, immediately pulled her back and gave her a sharp slap, scolding her in front of everyone. Saiba, visibly shaken, broke into tears and began apologising. 'Aunty Ji Slapped Her into Another Dimension': Social Media Reacts The video has garnered over 700,000 views and has flooded with comments. Many users praised the mother's quick and bold action. Live Events 'Everyone should have such a mum,' one user wrote. Another joked, 'Aunty ji slapped her into another dimension.' Several others called the moment 'parenting goals' and applauded her for valuing safety over embarrassment. However, some questioned the authenticity of the clip, suspecting it may have been staged for attention. Others criticised the person filming for not intervening to prevent the dangerous act. A Wake-Up Call in the Digital Age This video has struck a nerve with many parents and viewers. It shines a light on the growing trend of risky behaviour among influencers, where the quest for followers and views can lead to life-threatening actions. Parenting in the digital age is no easy feat. It requires balancing respect for independence while setting firm boundaries. In this case, the mother's timely action did more than prevent a potential accident, it sent a strong message about the importance of safety over online validation. Content Culture and the Fine Line Between Fame and Foolishness Social media rewards bold, extreme, and sometimes dangerous content. But this video flips that narrative. Here, it was not the influencer's risk but the mother's reaction that caught the internet's attention, suggesting that responsibility, too, can go viral. As one user said, 'In the chase for likes, don't forget to like your life.' It's a reminder to young content creators: safety should never take a back seat to stunts.
