Absolutely useless!!” one user remarked. “In the next couple of years, reels will be the biggest reason for accidents,” another person added. “Now she will make a reel of how she was rescued. Free PR!” another commented. “It’s not even been two weeks since social media influencer Aanvi Kamdar died after falling into a gorge at a popular waterfall in Maharashtra.
