While
many
international
songs
are
often
heard
at
the
Olympics,
this
time
desi
fans
were
surprised
when
Israeli
swimmers
Eden
Blecher
and
Shelly
Bobritsky
gave
a
stellar
performance
on
Madhuri
Dixit's
song
Aaja
Nachle
at
the
Tokyo
Olympics.
The
team
of
two
competed
in
the
Artistic
Swimming
Duet
Free
Routine
Preliminary
event
at
the
Tokyo
Aquatics
Centre.
The
video
of
their
synchronised
performance
has
gone
viral
on
social
media
as
netizens
couldn't
keep
calm
after
listening
to
the
song
Aaja
Nachle.
Many
thanked
the
team
for
using
a
Bollywood
dance
number
while
others
said
that
the
team
has
won
their
hearts.
Sharing
the
video
of
Eden
Blecher
and

Notably,
the
film
released
in
2007,
has
been
a
special
release
for
the
actress
as
it
marked
her
return
to
the
big
screen
after
five
years.
The
film
will
complete
13
years
of
release
on
November
30.
Directed
by
Anil
Mehta,
Aaja
Nachle
also
starred
Konkona
Sen
Sharma,
Jugal
Hansraj,
Akshaye
Khanna
and
Kunal
Kapoor
in
pivotal
roles.
Wondering
if
Madhuri
saw
the
viral
video,
one
Twitter
user
wrote,
"This
is
so
cool!
@MadhuriDixit
have
you
seen
this
yet?

another
person
shared
the
video
while
praising
the
team
and
said,,
"Thank

Israel
for

You
have
no
idea
how
excited
I
was
to
hear
and
see
this!!
AAJA
NACHLE

The
routine
for
the
artistic
swimming
event
is
set
to
last
up
to
3-4
minutes
and
is
judged
on
the
basis
of
their
synchronisation,
difficulty,
technique
and
choreography.
Unfortunately,
Eden
Blecher
and
Shelly
Bobritsky's
team
did
not
qualify
for
the
final
round.
