The computer science graduate said her family members complimented her for dancing to the song. “Similarly, I felt happy that I was felicitated by members of Alaya Foundation, a voluntary organisation founded by senior IAS officer P Narahari, in Godavarikhani on Thursday. Singer Mohana Bhogaraju too commented on the video and congratulated us on Instagram for becoming an Internet sensation,” she said.

The daughter of a forest official from Jannaram mandal centre said she was flooded with congratulatory messages and calls from relatives, friends and users of social media platforms.
