These days, people are going to extreme and often reckless lengths just for the sake of creating Instagram Reels. From jumping into rivers to dancing on streets, the users are now obsessed with going viral, which has blurred the lines between entertainment and irresponsibility. Such acts set a poor example for impressionable audienes, especially young children.
In one such stunt in Pune, a young student stopped a Pune Mahanagar Parivahan Mahamandal Ltd (PMPML) bus just to create an Instagram Reel. The video of this has gone viral on social media.

As seen in the video, the student gestures for the bus to stop on Fergusson College Road. The driver halts the bus, assuming that the student intends to board the bus. However, instead of getting on, the student places one foot on the bus step and pretends to tie his shoelaces. Once done, he casually walks away without boarding the bus, inviting the ire of the bus driver and the conductor.
Meanwhile, after the video went viral on social media, netizens have demanded punishment for the student. "If anyone is caught creating a Reel on the roads, they should be punished strictly. Such acts disrupt public order," said a user. "The Instagram account of this student should be deleted and he should be punished for this act," said another user.
