Since being shared online by Goenka, the viral video has garnered over 65,000 views and nearly 2,000 likes with hundreds of followers posting various comments. Among the first to comment was singer Adnan Sami, who quickly reponded to Goenka's tweet and said, "Maha Stupidity of Export Quality!"

One user wrote, "Sir, he has the CEAT confidence. Must be wearing shoes made from CEAT tyre," while a second user commented, "He doesnt know the concept of risk vs return." A third user said, "Definitely it needs to be admired," while a fourth user cautioned, "His family can only give the honest answer."

The heart-stopping video was originally shared on TikTok last year where it garnered nearly 30 million views and over 20,000 comments.
Here's how netizens reacted to the breathtaking video:
Besides sharing the amazing video, Harsh Goenka also shared another post on depression and mental health issues a day after Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput was found dead at his residence in Mumbai. According to the police's prelimiray report, the actor is believed to have taken the drastic step after battling depression for a few months.
While sharing a picture which had the words "I'm fine" written on a wooden material, Goenka asked people to turn the photo upside down to get its true message, which read, "Save me." "What people never understand is that #depression isn't about the outside; it's about the inside," Goenka said while tweeting the picture.
