The video, posted recently on Instagram, shows Singla's hands trembling slightly with anticipation as she tears open the packaging right after Blinkit's ultra-fast service drops it off. In a blink—faster than the delivery itself—the sleek device slips free and crashes down, producing that dreaded thud every gadget lover recognizes. Her reaction, a mix of shock and laughter, quickly turned the potential tragedy into viral gold, amassing views and shares across platforms.
Netizens flooded the comments with a torrent of humor and concern. That sound every iPhone owner fears hit home for many, while others quipped, At least you got content; phone can be repaired but this reel is priceless. Questions poured in: Did the screen crack? Does it still work? Singla's lighthearted response leaned into the blooper, highlighting how even premium purchases like the iPhone 17, launched in India last September at around Rs 79,900, aren't immune to human fumbles.
