A woman welcomed her older sister in grand style with a duet dance party on the streets, after she returned home fully cured of COVID-19. In the heartwarming video, the two sisters can be seen celebrating to the tunes of Chillar Party's 'Tai Tai Phish' in front of their house. A family member can also be seen doing aarti to welcome the sister who beat the virus. The sisters' dance has since gone viral on social media.
The woman has been identified as Saloni Satpute, a 23-year old Pune resident, who by dancing on the street for her sister, Snehal, also wanted to “relay a message to her neighbours who had shunned her after five members of her family tested positive,” Pune Mirror reported.
The video was originally shared on Twitter on July 19 by Dipanshu Kabra, IPS officer. He wrote, "No Pandemic can reduce a nanometer of smile, of any family that cherishes such Warmth, Love & Energy."
