Nothing makes nostalgia kick in like the songs of your homeland. Roaming on the streets of a foreign country and coming across a familiar tune is bound to make you stop and listen. A man named Vish, who busks on the streets of London, has often gone viral for singing Bollywood songs and getting accolades from passers-by.
In a recent video, he is seen singing the song ‘Tere Naam’ from the eponymous film of Salman Khan that released in 2003 and gained a cult following.
Busking in Southall, an area inhabited by South Asians often called Little Punjab or Little India, Vish croons the song in his soulful voice. Having more than 1.54 lakh followers on Instagram, he has even jammed with Maniesh Paul after bumping into him on a street in London.
