DDLJ may have romanticised the idea of running alongside a train to catch it, and in Sultan, Salman Khan might have reflected strength and agility by racing next to a speeding train. However, in the real world, such actions are undeniably dangerous.
Recently, a woman from Delhi attempted to outrun an express train. Identified as a fitness influencer with 18.3K followers on Instagram, Piku Singh filmed a reel running between two railway tracks when the Shatabdi Express (New Delhi to Kalka) passed by.

The video of her daring stunt has gone viral on social media. It shows her, wearing a fluorescent green top and black cycling shorts, sprinting alongside the passenger train at full speed.
The clip begins with her running between the two rail tracks, exerting all her strength and energy. Soon, a train approaches on her left, and she starts racing it. The video shows her either trying to match the train's speed with her running or her sincere attempt to beat the public transport.

As Singh posted her running reel on Instagram, netizens condemned the dangerous stunt pointing out that it could have been fatal.
"Mar jayegi ladki.. views ke liye mat kr (You will die, girl. Don't do such things for views)", one user commented. "One slip, gone", another wrote highlighting the risk involved with her stunt.
A few internet users also praised her running and fitness. They called it a "Good try" while asking her to never engage in such acts again.
