Backstreet Boys

Did you know Pichhli Gali Ke Launde have released their first single in five years called 'Don't Go Breaking My Heart'?

You read it right! Nick Carter and the boys are back and ‘Everybody’ is lovin’ it!

Hold on, before you ridicule the author, let me clear the air.

Haan bhai, we are talking about Backstreet Boys. But all we did was translate their name to Hindi – Pichhli Gali Ke Launde. Aaaand you gotta agree, it’s hilarious!

So on World Music Day, we translated a few international bands’ names to Hindi and the results are amusingly LOL-worthy.

Toh fraaands ‘Chai Peelo!’ while you go through this fun post.
