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.
