Apart from the killer moves, which made 'Dancing Uncle' the latest internet sensation, there's another reason he is going viral on social media-his dance reminds one of Bollywood's favourite dancer Govinda.

Shrivastava had earlier revealed that Govinda was his source of inspiration.
In fact, Govinda saw the video himself and he seems to be quite impressed by it.
The actor recently shared his thoughts on the viral video while speaking to India Today reporter Loveena Tandon in London.
''I would like to say thanks. I have seen it [the video]. Achha laga mujhe [ I liked it]'' said Govinda.
''Kisine bheja mujhe Mumbai mein. Mujhe achha laga. Sunita ko dikhaya maine [Somebody in Mumbai sent me the video. I liked it. I showed it to my wife Sunita]'' added Govinda.
''Iski khasiyat kya hai ke woh socha nahi ke woh dance kar rahe hai. Is baat ka usey ehsaas bhi nahi hai ke woh kya movements kis tarha se kar raha hai..Isko dekha toh laga ki yeh toh Govinda ki achhe se copy kar raha hai [What's special about his dance is that he didn't do the steps consciously. I watched him dance and realised he was copying me well]...It's so nice to see somebody copying you,'' added the Khudgarz actor.
Govinda also had a message for Shrivastava.
''Jis tarha aap dance kar rahe they aur karte samay usko enjoy kar rahe they, mujhe bohot achha laga dekhkar aur kripya iss tarha se aap dhamal machaate rahiye. Jis tarha aapki patni aapke ke saath dance kar rahi thi, woh mujhe bohot achha laga [I really liked the way you were enjoying while dancing and I would request you to keep enjoying yourself. I also liked the way your wife danced with you on stage,'' said Govinda.
Earlier, other B-Town celebs, including Anushka Sharma, Arjun Kapoor and Raveena Tandon took to social media to praise Dancing Uncle.
Shrivastava has also been appointed as the brand ambassador for Vidisha Municipal Corporation, the city he belongs to.
