Yesterday, Bollywood lyricist Manoj Muntashir shared a video of an unknown village kid with amazing dancing skills. He added that if identified, he would take responsibility for his training.
Today, former cricketer Virender Sehwag has shared footage of a 5-year-old Class I student operating a JCB machine with ease. While he lauded his talent, he also added a disclaimer saying trying this at a young age is inadvisable.
JCB ko khudaai karte dekh,aap bhi bahut ruke honge, bheed banayi.hogi.
But isse behtar kuch mahi dukha abhi tak.
Talent + self- belief.
If you think you can or you cannot, you are right.
Wouldn't advice anyone to try this at a young age, but just can't stop applauding. pic.twitter.com/1MjkUL405R— Virender Sehwag (@virendersehwag) June 27, 2020
The snippet has over 127,500 views and 2000 retweets in less than 8 hours of posting. It has evoked mixed reactions online.
A few people on Twitter compared the kid to ‘Bob the builder’ but others pointed out how it was a dangerous activity not to be performed by anyone without a proper license.
Real human version of Bob the builder

Viru paaji… Please don't circulate this… It's dangerous and also glorifies child labour. It propagates normalcy about children driving, let alone using heavy machinery.
Expecting better from someone who takes pride running his own school 🙏🙏— Abbas Katwarawala (@KSAbby) June 27, 2020
Should not be endorsed. This is not a play ground stunt, this is heavy duty machine.

This isn't worth applauding, this is immensely sad. Any kid shouldn't be anywhere near such machinery let alone operate one.

This is so risky why someone even ask a 5 year child to show these skills , it is dangerous .

We hope that he can complete his education before getting proper training to hone his incredible talent.
