The video of the encounter has gone viral on social media and many are re-sharing it. IFS officer Parveen Kaswan tweeted the video too along with a simple caption. “Is he the luckiest man alive? Tiger seems least bothered. From Corbett,” he wrote.

In the video, a man is seen walking on a road without any other human or vehicle in sight. Suddenly he pauses in his tracks and starts running towards the opposite side as a tiger comes out of the bushes. The encounter, thankfully, lasts a few seconds as the big cat crosses the road to disappear on the other side. The man stands still at his place for a few seconds before resuming his walk.
