Weaving an yet another interesting conversation on the latest episode of The Maniesh Paul Podcast, Terence Lewis recently revealed the story behind the viral clip of Nora Fatehi and himself.
Pouring his heart out on how the situation was misinterpreted and how he was severely abused for the same, Terence revealed it all on Maniesh’s show.
Beginning the conversation with clearing some air on the much talked about controversy over the viral clip with Nora Fatehi, where Terence was accused by the audience for behaving in an inappropriate behaviour, the choreographer clarifies by explaining the entire incident. Lewis tells Maniesh –
“It was a simple situation. Shatrughan Sinha and his wife had come. Geeta Kapoor felt that we had to do full namaskar to greet them. That week, Malaika Arora had COVID, and Nora stepped into her shoes. I said okay, fine. We did namaskar as respect, but suddenly, Geeta felt that it was not enough and wanted us to do more. So we followed her directions. I don’t even remember if my hand touched her (Nora), I don’t know even if it is really touching.”
Further, Terence says, “On a fair note, two weeks before, Nora had come on the show and asked me to dance with her… Why would I want to do something like this, when there are four cameras around? This is too cheap, you can’t do this. I got abused, in my DMs…”.
Talking about the other side of social media, Terence mentions how the clip appeared real to him and was confused if the incident had actually taken place or not. Talking about the reactions of himself and Nora, Terence mentioned how he called Nora and the two joked and spoke about how the clip has been projected and has gone viral.
Going further in conversation on the same, Terence says, “I’ve already danced with her in close proximity, and when you’re in the middle of it, you are not thinking in that zone. We are so focused, you cannot be in two worlds, and you need a lot of guts to do something like this”.
