A Delhi-based fitness influencer is facing heavy criticism online after posting a video of herself sprinting next to a speeding train, with many calling the act dangerous and irresponsible.
In the viral Instagram reel, Piku Singh — known for her motivational running videos — is seen running on railway tracks while a train speeds past her. Captioned simply “Running with train,” the video triggered backlash despite her intent to showcase fitness.
While a section of viewers admired her stamina, the majority slammed the stunt for its recklessness. Comments ranged from concern for her safety to warnings about setting a dangerous example.
One user wrote, “The girl will die… don’t do this just for views,” while another added, “Does she even realise one wrong step, and it’s over?”
Piku Singh, who goes by @runfitpiku on Instagram and has over 18,000 followers, regularly posts running videos from various parts of Delhi to inspire a healthy lifestyle. However, her latest reel has sparked a debate on the lengths influencers go for online attention.
