“Anirudh is the reason I’m still alive today.”
Those words stopped many in their tracks after a fan named Tasha, known as sharminiiiii on Instagram, shared a deeply personal video explaining how the composer’s music helped her survive one of the darkest phases of her life.
In the video, Tasha speaks candidly about the past two years, a period she describes as overwhelming and painful, where life felt like a constant battle. She revealed that she had slipped back into unhealthy coping mechanisms and found herself trapped in a space where hope felt distant and exhaustion took over.
While she acknowledges the support of her family and friends, Tasha shared that there were moments when loneliness crept in, moments when she felt misunderstood and isolated, as if no one truly knew what she was going through. During those times, music became her refuge.
Anirudh’s voice and songs, she said, gave her comfort when she felt most alone. His music reminded her that she wasn’t invisible, that someone out there understood emotions she couldn’t put into words. Slowly, song by song, it helped her hold on, breathe through the pain, and find her way back.
Today, Tasha says she is in a much better place, healing one step at a time. And while many fans flooded the comments section, tagging Anirudh and amplifying her message, something extraordinary happened. The composer himself noticed the post and responded.
For Tasha, that single moment became unforgettable. A message shared in vulnerability came full circle, met with acknowledgment from the very artist whose music had helped her through her darkest nights.
It was a powerful reminder that music is more than sound. Sometimes, it becomes a lifeline.
