The video clip has gone viral on social media. The incident took place on September 16 on GTV during a debate on Kashmir issue.

The video shows one of the analysts, Mazhar Barlas, who is a journalist, fall off his chair abruptly. This left all on the discussion panel shocked. The participants in the video could be seen trying to control their laughter.

The incident has left Twitteratis in splits. One user quipped that no matter on which chair you are sitting it is a matter of time.

A few also criticised the anchor for his reaction. "The moment when a senior analyst fell off to the ground after his chair collapsed during a show on GTV. The scene suggests that the incident observed during a live broadcast. But reaction of the host is very pathetic and can't be appreciated anyway," one user tweeted.
