'This time, 18,000 feet'
At the beginning of the video, Ankit introduces the adventure, saying, "So bhai, abhi hum apne babaji ko lekar aaye hain skydiving karwane ke liye Australia ke andar. Pichli baar 15,000 feet se karwayi thi, abki baar 18,000 feet se karwa rahe hain." (So, we have brought our grandfather for skydiving in Australia. Last time, he did it from 15,000 feet, and this time, we are making him do it from 18,000 feet, that too in Australia.
Moments before boarding the aircraft, Ankit playfully asks his grandfather, "Baba darta to nahin?" Without missing a beat, the elderly man smiles and replies, "Darta kaun hai main?" ("Who's scared? Me?"). The confident response quickly became the standout moment of the viral clip.
The excitement didn't end there. During the freefall, the grandfather can be heard enthusiastically shouting, "Jai Hind! Jai Bharat! Jai Haryana!" adding to the patriotic and joyful spirit of the adventure.
Ankit shared the video with the caption, "Dada ji skydiving, 18,000 feet in Australia."
