A TAKEAWAY has cooked up a storm on social media for their singing skills while serving food.

Videos posted to Instagram and Tiktok show staff at Frangos Blackburn singing Punjabi and Bollywood songs and have gone viral with over 20,000 views per video and reposts.

Blasting out hits like Zindagi Tere Naal and Kinna Sona, their first video gathered over half a million views and their TikTok account has now reached over 15,000 followers.

The duo, Arslan Butt and Mian Fakhar started singing to cheer up customers on social media or when they came to collect food.

Mr Mian said: “We want to put a smile on people’s faces because a lot of people are feeling depressed now in lockdown and we wanted to cheer them up when they come in or when they see us online.

“Everyone likes it, and it makes us want to do it more.”

The shop is owned by Hassan Aftab, who is a friend of all six of the men who work there and run it together.

Singing along with his friend, Mr Butt said: “We just started singing when we closed the shop at first just for fun, but then one of us recorded it and said he wanted to put it on TikTok, where it went viral.

“Then we started filming more videos because everyone comes in just for this now, saying they saw the videos and love what we are doing.

“We have always sung while working, but we just never had it online before.”

The team have become so popular, they are often called from even places like Norway, with people requesting songs over the phone as well as those collecting orders.

Mr Butt said: “It feels good when they say these things and we never get any bad comments, just so many nice compliments and they film it and put it online.

“We enjoy working here and with the music it makes us feel good as well as making everyone else feel good too.”

Mr Mian is the one who posted the videos to his Tiktok account. He said: “When I uploaded the first one, I woke up the next day to see the new followers and that it had gone viral.

“People commented such nice things and I never thought this would happen to us.

“Now people will come in and say it’s their birthday and can we sing them a song?"

But, due to lockdown the takeaway cannot have many customers in, except when someone needs to collect food.
