In the video, he is seen pouring raw materials into a pit for the camera. In the viral video, the cameraman is heard saying, "Ek tasla aur, photo thik nahi aayi."
But just as Dr. Srivastava picked up the next tray of material from the labourer to get a better shot, he slipped and went straight into the pit. The moment was caught on camera and quickly went viral on social media.
People online shared the video. One user commented, "Seva mein saadgi rakho, naatak nahi. Jab seva photo shoot ban jaye, to dhyaan kaam par nahi, camera par hota hai." (Keep simplicity in service, not drama. When service becomes a photo shoot, the focus is on the camera, not the work.)
Fortunately, Dr. Srivastava only suffered minor injuries and is doing well.
