Mumbai, July 14
Television actress Krystle D'Souza has shared glimpses of her unforgettable experience at Awakenings 2026.
Calling the music festival a "core memory," she revealed that the event exceeded her expectations and became even more special as she enjoyed it with her close friends. She also shared how the celebration of music, fun, and memories has set a new standard for her future festival experiences.
On Tuesday, Krystle took to her Instagram handle and shared photos and videos from the festival. The carousel of pictures shows the actress enjoying the festival with her close friends, including actor Rithvik Dhanjani. Some of the videos feature Krystle dancing with a group of her friends. She also shared glimpses from the concert alongside her solo shots.
For the caption, the 'Ek Hazaron Main Meri Behna Hai' actress wrote, "Core memory unlocked at @awakenings! Waited a whole year for this, and it still managed to exceed the hype. Did it with my core crew, lost ourselves in the music, found a million memories. Safe to say... we're ruined for every other festival now. #awakenings2026."
For the unversed, Awakenings festival is renowned for its extended sets by some of the biggest names in techno music and has become a must-visit destination for dedicated techno fans from around the world.
On the work front, Krystle D'Souza, along with Ayesha Khan, recently appeared in the song "Shararat" from 'Dhurandhar.' The Chehra actress also revealed that what initially started as a small role in the film turned into a significant milestone in her career. She shared that being part of the project gave her the chance to work alongside a talented ensemble cast featuring some of the most respected names in the industry.
"To be honest, this feels like a dream. Just sharing screen space with Ranveer Singh, Akshaye Khanna, Sanjay Dutt, and R. Madhavan is a huge deal for me. I didn't know how much footage or screen time I would get in the song, but I still said yes because I heard that the film had such a strong ensemble cast with so many incredible actors. I wanted to be a part of it in any capacity, even if it was a small one. I'm truly happy that what began as a small opportunity turned into something really big for me," mentioned Krystle.
"Dhurandhar," directed by Aditya Dhar, starred Ranveer Singh, Akshaye Khanna, R. Madhavan, Arjun Rampal, Sanjay Dutt, Sara Arjun, Rakesh Bedi, and others. The action thriller was released in theatres on December 5.

Bro, I've been to Awakenings in Amsterdam, and trust me, no desi festival can match that energy. The techno line-ups are insane! Glad Krystle had a blast—but honestly, these festivals in India are getting better too. Need more of this vibe here! 🇮🇳
As someone from Mumbai who's been to a few international festivals, I can relate to being 'ruined' for others. Awakenings is legendary for techno lovers! But I do wish Indian artists got more stage time at such global festivals. Still, happy for Krystle! 🎧
Krystle is living her best life, and I'm here for it! But let's not forget, there are so many local festivals in India that need this kind of recognition. The 'core crew' and 'core memory' thing is cute, but I'd love to see more support for desi artists too. Just saying!
Honestly, festivals like Awakenings are a whole different level. I've only seen videos, but the energy looks unmatched! Krystle's caption is so relatable—when you have that one festival that sets the bar too high. Hope she brings that energy back to her work too! ✨
Good for her, but I feel like these celebrity festival posts are becoming a bit repetitive. Everyone goes, takes the same photos, and says the same things. I wish more Indian actors would promote our own cultural festivals or even indie music fests. Just my two rupees! 💬
