A group of cheerleaders performed on the song during a NBA match between the teams Charlotte Hornets and Miami Heat on January 28.
The video of the dance sequence was posted by the NBA on Facebook and its viewership has clocked closed to 2 million. It has been shared 6,600 times on the social networking site.
In the video, cheerleaders, in traditional Indian dresses, can be seen dancing on the popular song much to the delight of fans, who can be heard whistling and applauding in the stadium.
The song had its own share of controversy, with many
expressing outrage over Deepika's bare midriff in the sequence, which was later covered with the help of CGI.
