We bet these cool dance moves will make you awestruck!
The elderly man is no professional dancer (though he could pass off as one). He’s a professor at Bhabha Engineering Research Institute in Bhopal, and has now became an internet sensation after a video of him dancing in at a wedding went viral.
In the video, professor Sanjeev Srivastava is seen performing at a relative’s wedding in Gwalior to Govinda's chartbuster song Aap Ke Aa Jane Se from the 1987 movie Khudgarz.
And he has been rechristened by netizens as 'Dancing Uncle.’
Speaking to ANI, a very elated Srivastava shared his excitement at becoming famous suddenly. The middle-aged Dancing Uncle said:
This is an unreal feeling. I can’t believe my dance video has gone viral. I thank everyone for the love and support. I have been dancing since 1982. I have learnt to dance from my mother and Govinda is my role model.
Impressed and How!
From Bollywood actor Raveena Tandon, journalist Barkha Dutt to Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan – everyone has been charmed by this Govinda fan’s dance moves.
It is a big thing for me that so many people have liked me, and I thank them from the bottom of my heart. I am extremely happy that people like Raveena Tandon, our Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chauhan have liked my dance.Sanjeev Srivastava, professor, Bhabha Engineering Research Institute
