Introducing himself, Dancing uncle says, “My name is Sanjeev Srivastava. I have studied engineering from Nagpur. I am fond of dancing since childhood. I consider Mithun Chakraborty as my inspiration. I had participated in many dance competitions in my youth and won three trophies in Madhya Pradesh. I did M Tech later and became a professor leaving everything from my family.”
Speaking that he has got inspiration from his mother for dance, Shrivastava says, “I have been dancing since 1982. Dance is a god-gifted talent in me. I was inspired by my mother Mohini Devi Shrivastava who has been a classical dancer.”

On May 12, the Professor was dancing at his brother-in-law’s wedding in Gwalior when someone shot the video, “I don’t know who he is but I am really grateful to him. I never got such an appreciation before.”
Surprised by people’s reactions on the internet, he says, “I never thought something like this would ever happen to me. I always used to dance on the songs of Govinda and Rishi Kapoor.”

Shrivastava says, “I never thought of uploading videos on my own, though I have performed hundreds of times at umpteen number of places free of cost as part of several dance and theatre groups and also as a special invitee on auspicious occasions in Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, and several others states.”
We thank Gautam Trivedi who had shared this video with us otherwise we would have never come to know about the rare talent this man possesses. Meanwhile, Sanjeev’s Govinda dance got more than 5,000 retweets and it has been ‘liked’ by more than 10,000 people. Moreover, people are now praising him as “dancing uncle”

Further, Shrivastava regrets that there was no TV channel to promote his talent at that point of time when he used to dance as a young man. You might be surprised to know that his 2 sons Parv (12) and Aradhya (10) are also good in dance.
