Professor Sanjeev Srivastava or the “dancing uncle” was appointed as the brand ambassador by Vidisha Municipal Corporation in Madhya Pradesh on Saturday after his dancing video went viral on social media recently.

His dance moves on a Govinda song “Aap Ke Aa Jane Se” broke the Internet in a matter of hours, receiving appreciation from a large number of social media users as well as Bollywood celebrities including Arjun Kapoor, Raveena Tandon, Anushka Sharma, Dia Mirza, Divya Dutta and Sandhya Menon. The six-minute song is from a 1987 movie Khudgarz and was picturised on the film’s lead actors Govinda and Neelam.
