In an interview to IndiaToday.in, Sanjeev said, “I haven’t been able to sleep in the past 3-4 days…My life has changed overnight. My family, especially my children, are yet to come to terms with whatever is happening.”

“People have been taking selfies with me, even at airports, be it in Bhopal or Mumbai. I like the feeling,” he added.

And now, not surprisingly enough, Dancing Uncle is fielding calls for appearances on reality shows, and even movie offers!

Shrivastava is passionate about dancing even though he didn’t receive any formal training.  In fact, he had also won the Madhya Pradesh competition, held in Bhopal during the 80s, for three consecutive years. He had been a regular stage performer till 1998.
