A Delhi University (DU) student didn’t let a technical glitch ruin her performance, as the audience came to her rescue when the sound system failed. A video capturing this heartwarming moment has since gone viral on social media. The incident took place at Indraprastha College for Women (IPCW), where student Shreeaa Rathi encountered an unexpected challenge during her stage performance.
As the speakers malfunctioned, what could have been an awkward silence was turned into a touching show of support. The audience took charge, singing the popular song "Afreen Afreen" to help her continue, ensuring the performance didn’t come to a halt. Shreeaa later shared the viral video on Instagram, which has now racked up over three million views. The clip shows her dancing gracefully while the crowd enthusiastically sings along, filling in the gap left by the failed speakers.
Her video caption reads, "The speakers stopped, but the audience didn’t." Social media users were deeply moved by the scene, especially the camaraderie at the all-women’s college. One commenter remarked, "Female friendship at its peak," while another wrote, "The moment you chose to keep dancing as the audience started singing."
Well-known dancer Faisal Khan even reacted to the video with a heart emoji. Many others praised the supportive audience, with one user calling it "a dream crowd for any performer" and another saying, "They didn’t let her stop, and she kept going." Ultimately, the video stands as a beautiful testament to the power of community and the unspoken connection between a performer and her audience.
