In barely a week since it first went online, The HR College student's YouTube and Facebook videos have already garnered over a million views. While some of them are shot among slum children, others are shot aboard local trains, and on platforms to the astonishment of commuters on daily grind. Sure, most encourage him and even join in, but there are always some who avoid eye contact because really, "what the hell is going on?"
Bharat wasn't always a dancer. He was, in fact, more inclined towards martial arts, which he dabbled in during his adolescence. Speaking to mid-day, he recalls, "My older brother Sagar was the break dancer back then. But around eight years ago, he had an accident and he had to stop. Before that, I used to make fun of him and imitate his moves, but after he stopped dancing, I took up the mantle." Incidentally, Sagar is also the one who shoots Bharat's videos.

Having appeared for his TYBCom exams this year, he is now awaiting his results. "I want to get into the acting-dancing scene professionally."
