In the era of TikTok and Musical.ly, Dancing Uncle aka Sanjeev Shrivastava doesn’t need any introduction or either of the platforms to market himself. He is a brand in himself.
We have witnessed a lot of sensations in our country who become popular in just a single night but this man has been breaking stereotypes with his crazy dancing moves at the age of 46.
That one Dance performance!
It took him just one dance performance at his brother-in-law’s wedding in Gwalior which was recorded and there was no looking back since then. He became a celebrity after the video of him dancing to ‘Aap Ke Aa Jaane Se’ went viral. In an interview, Dancing Uncle had once said, “I have been dancing since the age of 10. I am extremely passionate about dance – in fact, it is part of my being. Dance is my first priority.”

The flight to success..

The interesting part to this is, our very own Dancing Uncle has been featured in the video dancing to the peppy beats of the song. Jasim and Benny Dayal too feature in the video dancing to the catchy beats of the song but ironically they act as background dancers to Uncle Sanjeev.

Because of his overnight stardom, he also got an opportunity to meet many Bollywood celebs like Madhuri Dixit, Suniel Shetty, Salman Khan, and his idol, Govinda. Apart from these Bollywood celebs, he got the opportunity to meet Shivraj Singh Chouhan, the then-Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh in addition to a message post by the CM himself on social media.
