“Swept away by an underwater current”
“We're perfectly fine and well now. But yesterday at 6:00 pm or so, my girlfriend and I had to be rescued from a bit of a situation,” Ranveer said in his Instagram post on Christmas day.
The YouTuber said he had always loved swimming in the open ocean and had been doing so since he was a child. But on December 24, he and his girlfriend were swept away by an underwater current while swimming in the sea in Goa.
Ranveer said that he struggled for five to 10 minutes and started losing consciousness before he called for help. Luckily for him and his girlfriend, there was a family swimming nearby that immediately came to his rescue.
“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,” the YouTuber wrote.
