Another day, another stirring Indian cover. After a series of beautiful Indian instrumental versions of the Game of Thrones and Star Wars themes, Canadian-Indian sisters Aathy and Aara Thambiappah have presented a cover of Sia's "Cheap Thrills". Their rendition uses veena, a classical Indian stringed instrument, to lend a slow and soulful touch to the original, fast-paced electropop party song.

In the past, the two siblings from Toronto have performed versions of popular Indian film songs. The "Cheap Thrills" cover was first put on their Facebook page Veena Thambaps and already has over 8,000 shares.
