Ravi Kishan on his viral ‘Gucci walk’
Ravi Kishan, while addressing the crowd at the
UP Creator Summit, revealed that his viral ‘Gucci walk’ was neither planned nor choreographed. He was forced to dance his way sideways because there was hardly any space on the stage. ‘There was no space, and I was trying to move sideways to the stage. I looked like a locked pigeon,’ admitted the 57-year-old.
Embracing the internet popularity, Ravi Kishan performed his Gucci walk at the UP Creator Summit, much to the delight of the audience. As per videos circulating widely online, he was seen asking the organisers to play the song before breaking into an impromptu performance, showcasing his signature steps. The performance, joined by Kishan’s Maamla Legal Hai co-star Anant Joshi, prompted loud cheers and applause from the attendees.
