Gurmeet giving CPR to man
In the video, Gurmeet Choudhary is seen giving CPR to a man, who fell unconscious near a busy street in Mumbai. The actor is seen pumping the man’s chest and asking someone to rub his feet. The person was reportedly sent to hospital after an ambulance arrived on the scene. Many, who stood around Gumeet, praised him for helping the person by giving CPR.
Since the video was shared by fan and paparazzi pages, many social media users have reacted to Gurmeet’s gesture and also how someone recorded the video of a helpless person after he collapsed, instead of helping him. Some also said he was a ‘good influence in real life too’. Gurmeet is known for his portrayal of Lord Ram in the TV series Ramayan, which began airing in 2008.
Reactions to the video
An Instagram user wrote, “Ideally CPR given should be uninterrupted and with 30 compression: 2 breaths. And to continue till the time AED (defibrillator arrives) or patient gains consciousness or stable pulse and heart rate. But Whatever he had done is commendable. Doing it all by himself. We need more people like him. And I think everyone should and must be well verse with Basic CPR steps with so many increasing number of cardiac arrest cases increasing day by day. Yet again a very well done job.”
Another said, “This is amazing buddy, but this is only part CPR right? He also needs to blow air into his mouth to fill up his lungs…” Slamming the person, who recorded the video, an Instagram user also wrote, “Seriously you take video of collapsed people instead of lending a helping hand?” One more commented, “Real artiste… May God protect that man.” A person also called Gurmeet ‘good human being’.
