YouTuber Ranveer Allahbadia, popularly known as BeerBiceps, recently recounted a near-drowning experience at a Goa beach, where he had to be rescued by the family of an IPS officer and his IRS wife.
In an Instagram post shared on Wednesday, the podcaster described the harrowing incident, explaining that he and his girlfriend were swimming in the open sea when they were caught in a powerful underwater current.
“We’re perfectly fine and well now,” Ranveer assured his followers, adding, “But yesterday at 6:00 pm or so, my girlfriend and I had to be rescued from a bit of a situation.” Ranveer, who has always loved swimming in the ocean since childhood, revealed that the incident occurred on December 24. While enjoying a swim, he and his girlfriend were suddenly swept away by the current.
They struggled for several minutes before beginning to lose consciousness and shouting for help. Fortunately, a family nearby heard their cries and came to their aid. “What started as a casual, fun dip in the waves was interrupted by an underwater current that toppled both of us,” Ranveer wrote. “The next thing we knew, we were struggling to stay afloat.” He admitted there was a moment when he swallowed a lot of water and felt himself fading, which prompted him to call out for assistance.
Expressing his gratitude, Ranveer credited the family of the IPS officer and IRS officer for saving their lives. Despite the traumatic experience, he shared photographs from his Goa visit, maintaining his girlfriend’s privacy by not revealing her face. “This experience left us feeling both blank and grateful,” he reflected. “We felt the protection of God throughout the incident.” Ranveer concluded his post by wishing his followers a Merry Christmas.
That was a close escape for Ranveer Allahbadia and his girlfriend.
