He dances to Punjabi singer J Star's song Na Na Na Na, smiling, gesturing and striking poses for the camera while keeping pace with the moving vehicle.Meanwhile, several passengers are visible inside the van, smiling and laughing as the driver performs his moves. None of them appears to intervene as the vehicle continues moving with the driver outside it.
Saini criticised the stunt in his caption, pointing out the growing risks associated with people chasing viral trends. He questioned how passengers could remain seated inside a moving vehicle while the driver stepped out to make a reel, adding that the driver could put everyone at risk and that the authorities would likely be blamed if something went wrong.Watch the video here: Reels and viral trends are becoming one of the biggest reasons behind accidents and mishaps in this country.
Just look at this Passengers are sitting inside a moving bus while the DRIVER is outside making a reel! Even more shocking, the passengers don’t seem to give a damn either.
And if something goes horribly wrong, guess who’s going to be blamed? The government.— Nikhil saini (@iNikhilsaini) November 12, 2026The video received a whole lot of criticism from social media users, with several questioning both the driver's actions and the passengers' reaction.One user wondered why the passengers appeared to be encouraging the driver instead of stopping him.
Another called the stunt outrageous and said those involved should be arrested.Someone else remarked that people seemed to be getting increasingly daring with such stunts every day.The video left social media users questioning how the driver and passengers could treat such a risky stunt so casually, especially with the van still moving on a mountain road.- Ends
