Pakistani house painter crooning Arijit Singh’s songs is breaking the Internet
Social media has the power to make a person famous. The medium has time and again proved a boon for talented individuals globally.
The Vidisha Municipal Corporation in Madhya Pradesh on Saturday appointed Professor Sanjeev Srivastava as the brand ambassador of the civic corporation. Professor Srivastava has been hogging the headlines for his dance performance captured on video during a wedding ceremony, which subsequently went viral on the Internet.
Srivastava, who is a professor of electronics in Vidisha, shot to fame for his perfectly-executed steps on the popular Govinda song “Aap Ke Aa Jane Se” from the 1987 movie ‘Khudgarz’. From WhatsApp forwards to retweets on Twitter, Srivastava’s video was received with appreciation by social media users, who dubbed him the “Dancing Uncle”.
The professor, who idolises Govinda, was also praised by the actor for his dancing skills.
