In a shocking revelation, popular content creator Ranveer Allahbadia, also known as BeerBiceps, shared a harrowing experience of nearly drowning while swimming in Goa. The YouTuber took to Instagram to recount the ordeal, expressing his gratitude towards the couple – IPS officer and his IRS wife – who rescued him and his girlfriend.
“Merry Christmas to you all, from Goa. It’s been the most eventful Christmas of my life,” Ranveer wrote, and went on to explain the near-death experience. He explained that he and his girlfriend were swimming in the open sea when they were swept away by an underwater current.
“We both love swimming in the open ocean. I’ve been doing this since I was a kid. But yesterday we got swept away by an underwater current,” Ranveer recalled, and added, “This has happened to me before, but I’ve never been alongside a companion. It’s easy to swim out of one alone. It’s very hard to pull someone out with you.”
Ranveer described the struggle to stay afloat, saying, “After a 5-10 minute struggle, we called for help and were promptly rescued by a family of 5 swimming nearby.” He acknowledged that despite being good swimmers, the underwater current proved to be a formidable challenge.
Ranveer emphasized, “We’re both good swimmers, but the fury of nature is such that it WILL test your limits at some point. A casual, fun dip in the waves was interrupted by an underwater current that toppled both of us. The next thing we knew was that we were both struggling to stay afloat.”
In a poignant moment, Ranveer shared that he began to lose hope during the ordeal. “There was a point during the ordeal where I swallowed a lot of water and started fading away a little bit. That’s when I decided to shout for help,” he revealed.
Ranveer expressed his deep gratitude towards the couple who rescued them, saying, “Deep gratitude to the family of the IPS officer husband and IRS officer wife who saved us both.” He also acknowledged the spiritual significance of the experience, writing, “We felt the protection of God throughout the incident. As we moved into today’s Christmas, we’re simply full of gratitude for being alive.”
The experience has had a profound impact on Ranveer, who reflected, “Almost feel like this one life experience has changed my perspective towards living.” He concluded his post by thanking his followers and expressing his appreciation for life.
