Paparazzi could be heard screaming ‘ikde ikde’ to the Backstreet Boys. This seems to have given netizens a deja vu of the time the photographers yelled ‘ikde’ to American stars Gigi Hadid, Tom Holland and Zendaya when they were in Mumbai to attend the NMACC Gala hosted by the Ambani family.

Several social media users took to the comments section of the video to react. One user wrote, “Welcome to India #backstreetboys.” Another comment read, “My childhood crush.”

“Inlogo ko dekh k sikhna chahiye Bollywood star jinko hum bolte h..kaise fan logo k sath pessh aana chahiye…” read another comment. “Wooooooooo 😮 bachpan ki yadain,” wrote another user.

Last week, the official Instagram page of Backstreet Boys announced their world tour in cities and countries including Mumbai, Delhi, Bahrain, Israel, Abu Dhabi and Jeddah.

“Still can’t believe we get to perform in these incredible cities! VIP Meet & Greet packages and tickets are still available for our upcoming shows in Iceland, Africa, Southeast Asia, & the Middle East! We can’t wait to see you soon!” the caption of Backstreet Boys’ Instagram post read.
