Remo also opened up on the biggest lessons he learned from Saroj Khan, one that "resonates with me every passing day".

He recalled how she told him that, "In our industry, you either make relations from the heart, or you just do not build them, because here people only mingle for their interest. There is a sense of 'being indifferent' here, so no one is a friend or enemy. If you are talented, you are appreciated. That is it. She would always say, 'if you bond with someone do it with all heart, otherwise don't do it. Bonds forged of success and failuire don't last for life, but the ones born of the heart have nothing to do with success-failure'," shared the choreographer.
