The video of a boy from Kashmir's Kishtwar District has gone viral in India, with Bollywood celebrities showing a special interest in it. The boy's vivacious dance, which is accompanied by a traditional instrument, a 'Dhol', has left netizens' hearts full of spirit.
In the clip, the boy can be seen grooving, lifting his hands, and matching his feet to the Dhol beats. Dressed in a sweater with a red shirt-beneath, he snaps his fingers, stops for a moment and bursts into a dance again.
Bollywood actor-artist Farhan akhtar retweeted the video, saying "This little guy got big groove."
Similarly, Bollywood veteran actress Raveena Tandon shared the video and called the dance "a lovely pahadi dance and the cutest version of it!" 'Phadi' refers to the hills in Hindi and people living in the hills are called 'Pahadi'.

The kid is also a hit among the general public on Twitter. While a few netizens called it the carefree attitude and innocence of childhood, other are simply in awe of his dance skills and are enjoying the vicarious thrill.
