“I swallowed a lot of water and started fading away a little bit. That’s when I decided to shout for help,” said Ranveer Allahbadia in an Instagram post after he and his girlfriend nearly drowned while swimming in Goa.

YouTuber Ranveer Allahbadia, popularly known as BeerBiceps, took to Instagram to share that he and his girlfriend narrowly escaped drowning while swimming in Goa waters on Christmas Eve. The couple was recused by an IPS officer and his wife, who is an IRS.

“It’s been the most eventful Christmas of my life…. Yesterday at 6:00 pm or so, my girlfriend and I had to be rescued from a bit of a situation,” wrote Allahbadia on Instagram.

He reassured people that they were both perfectly fine and recounted being caught in a strong underwater current: “This has happened to me before but I’ve never been alongside a companion. It’s easy to swim out of one alone. It’s very hard to pull someone out with you.”

Allahbadia admitted that he began to feel overwhelmed after he swallowed a lot of water and started fading away. That’s when he called for help. “After a 5-10 minute struggle, we called for help and were promptly rescued by a family of 5 swimming nearby…. Deep gratitude to the family of the IPS officer husband and IRS officer wife who saved us both,” he further recounted.

He concluded his post with a heartfelt Christmas message.

“We lived for a reason! I guess 2025 is going to be more blessed than ever,” he shared in his post.

“You were gifted a second chance at life. A kind soul, now with an even deeper purpose. Much love brother,” said an individual.

Another added, “Damn brother! I can completely understand how helpless one feels when nature takes over. The world needs you! Glad you guys are safe.”

“Really feel great to know that you both are safe. God is great,” expressed a third.
