(September 14, 2023)<\/strong> How many of us are comfortable with dancing in public? And how many would do so without inhibition, to break gender stereotypes for art? 23-year-old Jainil Mehta has captivated Instagram, thanks not only due to his great dance moves but also because of his fashion choices! He has taken the streets of New York by storm, matching his steps to Bollywood numbers, and rocking them in colourful skirts.<\/p>\n

Mehta\u2019s dance to Jume Re Gori<\/em> from Gangubai Kathiawadi <\/em>went viral with over 17 million views, while many of his reels including Saami Saami<\/em> from Pushpa<\/em> were widely appreciated. Mehta\u2019s journey is much more than making an Instagram reel. It is about living a dream, shedding centuries old stereotypes and inspiring others to follow their passion, no matter the hurdles on the way. That he gets a million likes in the process is an added bonus!<\/p>\n
