This was not the first case where a man died due to a heart attack while dancing, before this, a man passed away while he was dancing at his Sister-In-Law’s wedding in the Pali district of Rajasthan. 

And a similar incident took place when a 51-year-old man died while performing 'raas' at a function at a relative's place in Devgadh Baria in Dahod district.
