January 17: Delhi-based, 27-year old multi-talented entertainer, Naved Khan, is soon going to leave his mark on the audience’s mind through his remarkable dance performance at the famous television reality show, The Dance Icon. The show is going to air live on TV very soon.

The passionate and enthusiastic dancer, Naved Khan, is a self-learned dancer. His great dancing skills along with acting skills, will certainly make him a complete package for the entertainment industry and the show, The Dance Icon.

“I have never learned dancing from any certified dance academy. Watching my favourite movies and television shows inspired me to self-learn dancing. While my family members and best friend Mukul supported me a lot, my father has been my biggest pillar of strength always.”

Naved shares that he takes immense dance inspiration from a celebrity, Sapna Chaudhary. He has met her two to three times until now. He finds her to be the gem of a person. She motivated him a lot to keep his passion for dancing alive.

Apart from the dancing industry, the acting industry also interests Naved Khan a lot. He has always aspired to be an actor and a dancer. He is also a singer and a writer by hobby. He felt that he was only meant for the acting career from his childhood days. He always felt like the camera surrounded him.

“I would wake up in the morning, play with my hair in the mirror just like you’d expect an actor would appear in a movie, and practice dialogues,” says the eminent social media influencer and YouTuber.

Naved also runs a successful YouTube Channel wherein he posts reviews about the latest products, especially fragrances. He also posts some creative content for his YouTube subscribers. He has done various collaborations with various brands. He has received some great recognition through this channel and worked with reputed brands like Wow Science India, Plix, and more.

Naved Khan has also been a winner in some contests hosted by the music artist Guru Randhawa’s brand, Guru Randhawa Edition. The dancer and actor have had some great conversations with him.

Naved Khan is also a social media influencer. He loves to donate to the needy and help them as much as he can. During the start of the Covid-19 pandemic, he donated PPE kits to the needful. His genuine efforts were noticed by the famous celebrity actor Sonakshi Sinha and many other celebrities. She glorified his efforts by posting about it on her Facebook and Instagram, followed by many other celebrities.

The mindful dancer, Naved Khan, also donates cake on his birthday to Charitable NGOs. Recently, he met a girl from the Mantrina foundation. She had lost her hands and feet in an accident and needed a wheelchair. So, he donated a generous amount so she could get a wheelchair for herself.

From being 120kgs before to 80kgs now, Naved surely seems to have come a long way from being teased about his weight and complexion in his childhood days. We hope to see him rise, shine, and entertain the audiences very soon in The Dance Icon reality show!
