New Delhi: A Russian content creator jumped on the viral stiletto challenge. Unfortunately, it resulted in a disaster. She broke her spine. A thirty-two-year-old woman named Mariana Barutkin, who gave birth just weeks ago, tried out the viral trend inspired by rapper Nicki Minaj. In the video, Barutkin was seen precariously balancing on a couple of vessels on a kitchen table. Seconds into the video, Barutkin fell off and landed on the ground. “I began my blogging journey with this shoot, and now I’m leaving the doctor’s office with a fracture diagnosis. Is this fate’s sense of humour or just one of life’s surprise trials," said the woman in the caption. The video garnered the attention of many. Many influencers have been trying to recreate the challenge.
