'North Campus ki ladki' Rashmeet gets Hindu College students grooving

Bringing high energy to Mecca, Hindu College's annual cultural fest, singer Rashmeet Kaur headlined the event on Saturday evening, powering through a packed campus crowd. From soulful tracks to party beats, she had the audience on their feet, with fireworks lighting up the backdrop.‘Main bhi North Campus ki hi ladki hoon’The singer opened with her popular Bajre Da Sitta remix and said, “Kaise ho? How we feeling, Hindu? Main bhi North campus ki hi ladki hoon so I get the vibe here,” gaining an uproar of cheers from the crowd. Known for blending folk with contemporary pop and electronic influences, she kept the energy high and interacted with students throughout.Wearing an embroidered choli with baggy pants, the singer made a dramatic entrace with a dupatta on her head, which she later removed during the performance. Complete with Indian jewellery, Rashmeet chanelled the quintessential DU girl aesthetic. As the temperature cooled, the fest only grew louder. Students climbed onto each other’s shoulders for a better view amid a crowd of thousands.“The next song is one jisko aapne bahut pyaar diya, aur aaj main woh pyaar dene vapas aayi hoon. Can you guess the song? Chalo saath mein gaate hain,” she said before launching into her highly anticipated song, Faqeeran.‘Performing in the campus where I once was a student was healing’The set, a mix of originals and reimagined covers, struck a personal note for Rashmeet. The Khalsa College alumna later shared on Instagram that she had been unwell in the days leading up to the performance. She wrote, “North Campus… this one felt personal. Been bedridden for the last few days… but tonight, I got on that stage...And somehow, music held me together. It always does.” Calling the performance ‘healing’, she added that the audience’s energy uplifted her, “Performing in the campus where I once was a student... there’s nothing more healing than that. Your energy uplifted me. Your art, your dedication, and the energy from those, who feel it – will guide you through everything. Forever grateful. Har vele shukar!” she added.
