In the first event, “1.2 Meter Splash Dodge,” Gehlani showcases his agility as he expertly dodges water splashes from a passing car, a common occurrence during Mumbai’s monsoon season. He emerges victorious, earning a gold medal for his quick reflexes.
Next up is the “Vada Pav Eating Contest,” where Gehlani indulges in the iconic street snack of Mumbai. With a confident bite into a chili, he demonstrates the perfect combination that makes vada pav a beloved delicacy. Gehlani’s enthusiasm and love for the dish earn him another gold medal.
The third event, “Puddle Jumping,” tests Gehlani’s ability to navigate the city’s infamous puddles. With a graceful leap, he clears a giant puddle, leaving his competitors behind and securing another gold medal.
The fourth event, “Mumbai Local Window Seat Grab,” is a true test of survival in the city’s crowded public transport system. Gehlani battles his way through a sea of commuters, ultimately securing a coveted window seat, earning him yet another gold medal.
However, in the final event, “Autorickshaw Catching,” Gehlani faces defeat. Despite his valiant efforts, another competitor manages to grab the three-wheeler before him, leaving Gehlani to rue his missed opportunity.
