With various Pakistani and Bollywood celebrities recording the video and putting it up on social media, it was only a matter of time before our politicians jumped on board.
And that is exactly what Sharmila Farooqi did.
A video of the PPP leader has gone viral on social media in which she can be seen with other PPP leaders, including Sindh information minister Nasir Hussain Shah, saying:
"Ye ham hain, ye Nasir bhai hain aur ye hamari school ki taiyyari hori hai," she says before the video ends.

"Yeh hamari car hei aur yeh hum hein, aur yeh hamari parrrty horahi hei" [This is our car, this is us, and this is our party], she can be seen saying in the video.
The viral video has been recreated hundreds of times with #pawrihoraihai trending on Twitter.
After taking Pakistani social media by storm, the trend #PawriHoriHai (parrrty ho rahi hai) went viral across the border and to everyone's delight, it turned into a catchy song.
Yashraj Mukhate, who is popular for turning viral videos and clips from TV shows and movies into upbeat, funny songs, turned #PawriHoriHai into a catchy number.
“From today, I am not going to party, but I will 'pawri' because party won't be as fun as pawri," Mukhate wrote in Roman Urdu on Instagram.
