'Dancer uncle,' latest internet sensation, talks about his role model and it's NOT Govinda

Internet has fallen in love with Sanjeev Srivastava. Sanjeev Srivastava, who? The name doesn’t ring a bell, isn’t it? Don’t worry, till yesterday, nobody knew who was this super cool uncle dancing to the tune of Govinda’s 1987 hit song ‘main se meena se na saaki se’.

Now, we all know. Ladies and gentlemen, put your hands together for Sanjeev Srivastava, the professor from Madhya Pradesh’s Vidisha, who is breaking the internet with his amazing dancing skills.

Talking to news agency ANI, Srivastava spoke candidly about new-found fame and said that he is happy that so many people are liking his dance. 

He may be following Govinda’s footsteps, literally, but his role model is NOT the Bollywood star. He sia dthat he has learnt the dance from his mother and she is his role model.

So, what’s the big deal, huh? Well, there are no sweet girls and cute boys jiving to some cool hip-hop number. Instead, you have Srivatava and his shy wife dancing to a hit song of Bollywood star Govinda.

The song is from movie Khudgarz. We can say without doubt that even Govinda would have fallen in love with this uncle’s super awesome moves.

From ‘I wish this video never stops’ to ‘pure awesomeness’, Twitter is going crazy over this video.

So, like us, if you are still working or need a something to set you in the weekend mood, just watch the video. And in case you haven't seen teh original hit number from teh 1987 movie, here's your chance to improve your Bollywood quotient.
