It’s not every day when you’re away from home in a foreign land and something familiar comes your way. Something similar happened when walking down a US street, a man heard an artist playing a Hindi song on saxophone.

Twitter user Sumit Patil was in Boston, Massachusetts when he heard sounds bellowing out of a saxophone. But instead of some Jazz or Neo-Soul tunes, he was pleasantly surprised to hear the musician play Kabir Singh’s ‘Tujhe Kitna Chaahne Lage Hum’.

With a small tip bucket in front, the unidentified man in a black suit was busking the melodious tunes of the Kabir Singh song, sung by Arijit Singh. “This is what I captured today!!!” an excited Patil wrote online tagging the singer, composer and actors of the film. “Amazed to watch Indian music on the US streets!!!” he added.

However, it’s not that unusual to hear Bollywood songs being played or performed outside India. While some have gone to great lengths to shoot scene-by-scene covers of their favourite Bollywood hits, others simply joined in with other street performers.
