Behne De Mujhe Behne De's incorrect subtitle meme makes netizens go 'LOL'
On September 17, 2020, a Twitter handle named 'Pathan Ka Baccha' shared a rib-tickling incorrect English subtitle meme, which soon went viral. In the image shared by the Twitter handle, the English subtitle of the Behne De Mujhe Behne De song was completely misunderstood and mistranslated because of the Hindi homonym 'Behne', which made Twitterati go 'LOL'. The Hindi word 'Behne' means both 'Sisters' and 'Flow'. However, the latter is used in the Raavan song.
Thus, Behne De Mujhe Behne De translates to 'Let me flow, let me flow'. But, in the viral meme, it has been translated to, "Give sisters, give me your sisters". Sharing the meme, the Twitter handle jokingly wrote, "The song was “Behne de mujhe Behne de” I’m never watching Hindi film with English subtitles".
