Interestingly, even the Congress party uploaded the video of the guy dancing, using the meme to mock the central government.
The video went so viral that it caught the attention of the singer of the song, Milind Gaba. Milind Gaba, a renowned singer, lyricist, and producer, wrote the lines of the song for his 2019 track "She Don't Know." He posted this video on Instagram, expressing, "1.1 million reels have been made on #SheDontKnow on Instagram, but this one is epic. Get in touch with him. I want to gift him new black jeans that are bigger than my brother's ankles."
But who is he?
The person in question is Naeem Qureshi. The viral video harks back to the TikTok era, and Naeem recently reposted it, triggering widespread interest. Naeem's Instagram account was also uncovered and rapidly circulated.
Consequently, Naeem found himself back in the limelight, dancing to the same tune. Now, the prevailing sentiment is urging fellow dancers to match his intensity, making it impossible even for them to duplicate their own moves.
