'I Give Up': Soha Ali Khan's 10,000 Steps In Mumbai Turns Into An Obstacle Course With Dog Poop, Open Drains And More
Walking 10,000 steps sounds simple enough, until the pavement itself starts throwing obstacles your way. Soha Ali Khan’s latest Instagram video takes a humorous but pointed look at what trying to complete that daily walk can actually feel like on Mumbai’s streets.
Soha Ali Khan attempted to complete a 10,000 step walk in Mumbai, but the journey quickly turned into an obstacle-filled challenge. The actress, known for her positive attitude, started her daily walk with high spirits, praising the city's fresh air. However, her optimism faded as she encountered a series of hindrances on her route.
First, she walked around dog feces on the pavement, then navigated an open drain spewing water. She also faced a man sleeping on the sidewalk, jokingly agreeing to "negotiate" around him. The crow of birds added another unexpected interruption to her walk. By the end of her 10,000 steps, Soha had encountered numerous roadblocks, including a crane, construction debris, and a group of men unloading wires onto the footpath.
The video, captioned "I really try to get my 10k steps every day, but after 2,467 obstacles, I give up ♀️ #willtryagaintomorrow," highlights the city's pedestrian infrastructure issues. A 2011 study found that pedestrian conditions in six Indian cities were "poor and unsafe," with a median walkability score of 47 out of 100. While Pune scored higher at 54, it still lagged far behind Hong Kong's pedestrian infrastructure score of 70.
