A viral dance at MSU’s “Sanskar Sangam” sparked outrage, with NSUI calling it obscene. The student apologised for her song choice but said the backlash was excessive, hurt her mental health, and accused groups of politicising and sharing the video without consent.

Vadodara: A viral video of a student performing to the Bollywood song Dhak Dhak Karne Laga during a three-day “Sanskar Sangam” cultural event at Maharaja Sayajirao University (MSU) has sparked a major controversy on campus, drawing sharp reactions from student groups.
