Lady Gaga sings Born This Way

Musical duo Salim-Sulaiman made headlines when they released the desi remix of Lady Gaga's latest single Born This Way.

Sulaiman proudly tweeted: 'And so it's finally up and I can tell everyone!!!! Did the desi remix of "born this way" the lady gaga single.'

India's increasing population seems to have become a gold mine for many Hollywood stars. If reports to be believed, the popstar is currently planning a concert in India.

Lady Gaga tweeted about the collaboration as well: 'I worked with some Indian Producers on "BORN THIS WAY" to show all the little monsters in India that I appreciate you!'

We wouldn't be surprised if Lady Gaga stars in a Bollywood film next.

What do you think of the desi Born This Way?
