In January 1993, Pritam joined the Film and Television Institute in Pune to undertake a course in sound recording and sound engineering. During this time, he was offered a chance to compose background music for a film by Hungarian filmmaker Istvan Gaal. He also learned African music from musicologist Kedar Avati.

The song "Afghan Jalebi" by Pritam is a playful and energetic track that combines elements of traditional Afghan music with modern Bollywood beats. The lyrics revolve around the theme of mischief and deception in love. The singer describes the object of his affection as an "Afghan Jalebi," which can be interpreted as someone who is irresistible and sweet but also mischievous and deceptive. The chorus repeats the line "Bhai wah, bhai wah," which can be loosely translated as expressing surprise or admiration for the person being referred to.
The verses of the song further emphasize the charm and allure of this person, with lines like "Your glance is killer" and "You are a divine light." The singer also warns the person of the consequences of their deceptive ways, saying that they will only end up hurting themselves in the end. The playful nature of the lyrics is further highlighted in lines like "What will love do by showing a gun?" and "Never show your face, bhai wah, bhai wah."
Overall, "Afghan Jalebi" captures the excitement and spirit of a playful and deceptive love affair, with its catchy melody and energetic composition.
