Srivastava has stormed the social media after his dancing video from a wedding went viral. He could be seen dancing on Govinda's chartbuster song-- "Aap Ke Aa Jane Se" from the 1987 flick Khudgarz. And since then netizens have gone berserk over the 46-year-old's dancing talent. His cool moves have now earned him the moniker 'Dancing Uncle' on the social media. He is a die-hard fan of veteran actor Govinda. 

"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," Srivastava, who hails from Vidisha, said. 

Talking to news agency ANI, a very overjoyed Srivastava shared his amazement to the sudden fame.
