A stunt performed by a man went horribly wrong. The video of the incident is now going viral on the internet. It shows a man standing on a platform with a fire stick in his hand at what appeared a puja pandal. Moments later, the man takes a sip of petrol and blows it towards the fire.
In an unexpected turn of events, as soon as he throws the stick on the ground, his beard catches the fire. Onlookers immediately rushed to help the man and extinguish the fire by slapping the man's face several times. The undated video was posted by an Instagram user Ravi Patidar. It is not clear where the video was filmed.

Meanwhile, an 18-year-old man suffered severe burn injuries after his "fire haircut" went horribly wrong at a salon in Vapi town of Gujarat's Valsad district.
The 'fire haircut', which has gained popularity in recent years, is a process in which a barber or hairdresser uses fire on the customer's hair to set it in style.
The incident took place on Wednesday in which the fire set on the man's hair as part of the process went out of control.
The man got severe burn injuries on his neck and chest and was taken to a hospital immediately.
As per primary information, the police said the man's upper body suffered severe burns after some kind of chemical was applied on his head for the 'fire haircut'.
