Dancing Uncle is now the brand ambassador of Vidisha Municipal Corporation

Professor Sanjeev Shrivastava whose dancing video went viral on social media, has been appointed as the brand ambassador by Vidisha Municipal Corporation.

Sanjeev Shrivastava, 46, is an electronics professor who stormed the social media after his dancing videos from a wedding went viral.

The 46-year-old professor said that he is a die-hard fan of actor Govinda.

In the video, Shrivastava, who has been rechristened by netizens as 'Dancing Uncle', could be seen dancing to Govinda's chartbuster song-- "Aap Ke Aa Jane Se" from the 1987 movie Khudgarz.

Talking to ANI, a very elated Shrivastava shared his amazement on the sudden fame.

The middle-aged dancing uncle said, "This is an unreal feeling. I can't believe my dance video has gone viral. I thank everyone for the love and support. I have been dancing since 1982 and my idol is Govinda ji. Now I hope to get more opportunities."

"It is a big thing for me that so many people have liked me, and I thank them from the bottom of my heart. I am extremely happy that people like Raveena Tandon, our chief minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan have liked my dance. I have learnt to dance from my mother and Govinda is my role model."

Thanx for this Love, Support & Honour given by VIDISHA. It's a great privilege for me and my family. #DancingUncle #Dancing pic.twitter.com/enzrOSgWnb Sanjeev Shrivastava (@DabbutheDancer) June 2, 2018
