A LEGLESS Indian man has become an overnight sensation for his incredible DANCING skills.
Vinod Thakur, 21, shot to fame after showing off his moves on reality show India's Got Talent.
Footage of his dazzling routine has now become a web hit.

The son of a lorry driver, Vinod finished school this year and works in a mobile repair shop to support his college studies with a meagre monthly income of £85.
India's Got Talent offers the winner a cash prize of £68,000.
Vinod received a standing ovation from judges and was immediately put through to the next round.
He said: "I am very excited. I have been getting a lot of support from my friends, family and neighbours.
"They want me to make them proud and I will do
