Watch: Elderly woman dives into Ganga river in viral video

NEW DELHI: Diving straight into the Ganga river is something many youngsters don't even dare to do. However, hats off to this old granny who pulled off such a dangerous stunt that will surely make you lose your wits. Watch the jaw-dropping viral video of this elderly woman leaping into the river without any fear.

The 24-second video clip shows the old woman, holding onto a rail, prepping herself before jumping into the holy waters of Ganga from a bridge. Soon after, she is seen springing into the river, without an ounce of fear. After her courageous leap, the woman swam in there for a while before reaching the bank.

वीडियो देखकर मैं पहले तो चौंक गया पर दादीजी तो माहिर तैराक निकलीं. वे करीब 70 साल की हैं. जिस दिलेरी और उत्साह से उन्होंने हर की पौड़ी पुल से गंगा में छलांग लगाई और तैरते गयीं वह अविश्वसनीय है.
