Ankit, a young Indian man, has been winning hearts across the internet after posting a video of himself taking his grandfather skydiving in Australia.

This wasn't the grandfather's first time. Ankit shared that the old man had already done it once before, jumping from 15,000 feet. And somewhere along the way, they both decided that wasn't quite enough. So they packed their bags, flew to Australia, and went three thousand feet higher.

In the video, the guy is heard telling his viewers in Hindi, "So bhai, abhi hum apne babaji ko lekar aaye hain skydiving karwane ke liye Australia ke andar. Pichli baar bhai 15,000 feet se karwayi thi, abki baar bhai 18,000 feet se karwa rahe hain, woh bhi Australia ke andar." This translates to, "So, we have brought our grandfather for skydiving in Australia. Last time, he did it from 15,000 feet, and this time, we are making him do it from 18,000 feet, that too in Australia."

Who is scared? Me?
