This was pre-2010 era when computers were a luxury, the internet was a rare phenomenon and downloading a video was a test of your patience. Saajan was around 15 when he started learning dance from the internet. Soon, the underground dance form, sans any rules, became a form of expression for me and millions around the world,” says the 28-year-old. It originated as an alternative to violence for settling scores between gang members. That piqued my interest in their culture and that’s how I discovered b-boying. “I used to play basketball, America’s second most popular sport, in school. Pre-destined to join the Indian army like his father, Saajan speaks of his journey to Mumbai.
Nor did he ever see himself being a body double of Salman Khan in movies like Race 3 (2018) and Tiger Zinda Hai (2017).
Growing up in Jalandhar, a Punjab city famous for sports equipment and temples, Saajan never imagined being a dance wizard, let alone mastering an American style. His father is a retired Subhedar of the Indian Army and his mother is a homemaker. What sets Saajan apart is his impressive dance moves, unbridled passion for winning and devotion towards his craft. Saajan’s story resonates with millions of small-town boys and girls who want to break away from the conventional lifestyle to express their individuality on their terms.
This YouTube video has 3.98 lakh views and for the right reasons. Dressed in a red hoodie and white pants, Saajan glides across the stage on his head, freezes, does a headstand, headspin and flawlessly transitions from one power move to another as the upbeat music picks up.Īll the three judges on the reality show declared no one can ace b-boying, one of the core elements of hip-hop, like Saajan.
