This video of her catching the snake was shared on Twitter on September 12.

In the video, she was wrongly named as Virat Bhagini but later it was revealed that she is Nirjara Chitti.

The description in the tweet states, “… was dressed to attend a wedding when she was called to catch a snake in a home. She did it without any special equipment with perfect poise in a saree.”

The two-minute-long video is reported to be from last year. However, it has been viral only since September 12.

Talking about this, Nirjara said that she was on her way to a wedding when she received a call to catch a cobra that had entered a house. However, she adds, as she was wearing a saree she could not handle the snake properly.
