Occasionally, videos of women performing incredible tasks while wrapped in sarees become viral on social media platforms. These videos feature women performing stunts, riding bikes, playing kabaddi, and engaging in other activities. A video of Reena Singh, a woman working out at a gym and lifting weights while wearing a saree, recently went viral on the internet. This video has stirred debate among internet users, with opposing viewpoints expressed.
Reena Singh Viral Video
Reena Singh is shown in the video performing a variety of workouts, including lunges and lat pulldowns. She also exhibits her strength by jumping and lifting a large tire while performing squats.
Ms. Singh emphasized commitment in the description of her post, writing, “This is just the beginning.” Her video has fascinated and inspired many viewers, prompting expectation and interest in what she hopes to achieve in the future. The post has millions of views.
Netizens’ Reactions
While some praised her for her unique workout outfit, others expressed concerns about the suitability and safety of wearing a saree instead of athleisure apparel in a gym.
One wrote, “The amount of injury you can have is not even explainable. Yes, peheno saree… par (wear saree…but) weights, machines, cross fit… needs comfortable gym wear. Be safe!”
Second wrote, “For the people asking “Why?” ask yourselves that – Instagram has gotten to the stage where to get noticed you do need to go beyond the ordinary/norm. As an influencer/artist or anyone simply posting what they actually do, it does not get any views or comments. This post was visible because she is in the gym wearing a sari. So, it did work! And she has herself said that she did this for the reel, so kudos!”
Third wrote, “Saree is okay, but encourage them to wear gym wear to avoid injury. Some exercises can be performed but not all, like the first one. So, I feel you should encourage them to wear proper clothes to avoid injury.”
On the contrary, other comments read, “Outstanding madam,” “Superb Workout,” and “wow so amazing.”
These opposing points of view represent the discussion over how to strike a balance between cultural practices and safety concerns in the fitness setting.
A similar video surfaced online last year, showcasing a 56-year-old woman from Chennai working out in a saree. The video gained popularity after Humans of Madras and Madras Barbell published it on Instagram. It demonstrated the woman’s incredible strength as she effortlessly lifted big weights and dumbbells and used other gym machines and equipment while dressed in a saree.
