There was a flood of online reactions on the viral video. Users expressed surprise at the man’s confidence and courage.

Dhuandhar Falls is known for its strong flow.
Dhuandhar Falls, located on the Narmada River near Jabalpur, is one of the most famous tourist spots in Madhya Pradesh. It got its name ‘smoky’ because when the water hits the marble rocks at high speed and falls down, it creates a smoke-like sight. During monsoon and when the water level is high, the flow here becomes very dangerous. In such a situation, any attempt to enter the water can prove fatal. Local administration and travel experts have repeatedly advised tourists to stay away from unsafe areas around the waterfall.
