In the video, Khushi openly shared that she has always had a deep fear of heights. Her fear is so intense that even looking down from the second floor makes her uncomfortable.

Moments later, she appeared on camera with a bleeding nose, visibly shaken. While she didn't clearly explain what went wrong mid-air or during the descent, it was clear that the experience wasn't as smooth as she expected it to be. She summed up the video, saying, “I jumped… but God had different plans.” She hasn't disclosed the exact cause yet, leaving viewers both curious and concerned.
The Internet Has Questions
As the video gained traction, social media users flooded the comments with “Get well soon,” asking her to take care. But others began pointing out possible safety concerns. One user wrote, “No sun = no gliding… that's the basic safety rule, I think.” Another added, “Did you even check the weather? This entire week is no-fly. You picked the wrong time.”
Some even shared their own adrenaline-filled experiences, “I almost fell off that mountain twice during takeoff but it was fun! The greater the risk, the greater the thrill.”
Among the comments, one response from an experienced paragliding pilot stood out. With over 20 years of flying experience, the user pointed out that the helmet used in the video appeared to be a bike helmet, not one designed for paragliding. They emphasised the importance of proper gear and flying with an experienced pilot.
