Dance has an undeniable magic, it liberates the spirit and reflects pure, unfiltered joy. In a delightful moment that broke the internet, renowned economist Sanjeev Sanyal, a key member of the Prime Minister’s Economic Advisory Council (EAC–PM), let loose and danced his heart out to soulful Ram bhajans.
The unexpected yet heartwarming video, filmed during the Swarajya Conclave 2025 in Delhi, has since gone viral, offering a rare glimpse into the lighter, more playful side of the otherwise sharp and serious policy expert.
The Viral Moment
The now-viral clip, shared widely on X, captured Sanyal breaking into rhythmic moves during the Swarajya Conclave 2025, organized by Sangam Talks in Delhi. Known for his sharp economic insights and scholarly works, Sanyal’s cheerful, carefree performance showcased a vibrant and playful side of him that few have seen before.
One user humorously summed it up:
“Imagine being the guy who helps the PM run the economy, cosplays as a 10th-century shipbuilder, rewrites history textbooks, and then break dances on Ram bhajans. Yeah, that’s @sanjeevsanyal.”
Netizens React with Admiration
Social media erupted with admiration and amusement. “What an event and what energy! He is one of those mortals who has brilliance even in his nails,” wrote one attendee. Another user remarked, “When I see him in videos, I see a 20-something boy enjoying life. Incredible writer helped me unlearn so many things.”
A Memorable Conclave
The organizers, too, joined the celebration, posting:
“Yesterday’s #SwarajyaConclave was a grand success! Packed hall, stellar panels, and incredible energy. Heartfelt thanks to our guests, speakers & the dedicated team behind it.”
Sanyal’s spontaneous dance has not only added a joyful highlight to the event but also reminded everyone that even brilliant minds have their moments of unguarded happiness.
