Viral video of boy sitting in boiling water shocks the internet, many call it fake

A shocking video of a little boy sitting in a pot of boiling water has gone viral on Twitter. In the undated video, the boy aged 7-9 is seen calmly sitting with folded hands in a large container placed on the fire while he is surrounded by a group of people. Despite the water boiling in the vessel, the boy seems completely unaffected by the heat.

Twitter user Sandeep Bisht shared the viral clip with a sarcastic caption, saying, “This is 2021 India.”

The video has gone crazy viral, with around 2 million views and people were shocked at the superstitious stunt. While the onlookers in the clip seem both shocked and impressed by the stunt, netizens were quick to call the video fake.

One user wrote, ”They are fooling innocent people. The kadhai is too deep and hollow inside, which prevents water from boiling and there is an air pump installed in front of the boy so the bubble effect is only in front.”

Another user explained that a water pump was used to create the illusion of boiling water.

However, it is not clear when and where the video was shot.
