‘Moh Moh Ke Dhaage resonates with the DU crowd’

It was a nostalgic evening for Delhi University alumnus Papon, who recently performed at Shaheed Sukhdev College of Business Studies (SSCBS). “The students’ energy and enthusiasm – they were all in it with me. It’s always special to sing for young, vibrant audiences who are there to celebrate and feel the music,” shared Papon. He added that it’s the honesty in his music that resonates with the DU crowd. “They connect with emotions, lyrics that have depth, and tunes that touch the soul. Whether it’s a mellow song or a high-energy one, if it’s sung from the heart, they respond equally.”

‘MY SONGS RESONATE WITH THE STUDENTS’
When asked which of his songs generally get the best response from the DU crowd, he said, “Moh Moh Ke Dhaage always has a special connection. And surprisingly, Mujhe Kaise Pata Na Chala also gets a huge response. These songs speak of a deep emotional space. I think in college, students go through a lot of inner exploration – of love, dreams, identity – and these songs resonate with those feelings. The lyrics and melodies become a mirror to their own journeys.” Any song that surprises him with the crowd’s reaction? “Khumaar – it’s always a surprise how that song lights up a fest,” added Papon.
