Remo D’Souza calls Salman Khan ‘Angel’ for helping his family after he suffered a Heart Attack

Choreographer-filmmaker Remo D’Souza left all his fans and loved ones in a state of shock after he suffered a heart attack in December. He was admitted to Mumbai’s Kokilaben Hospital.

Remo recalled the time about his diagnosis and talked about how Salman Khan helped his family during the tough times. He revealed that Khan himself spoke to the doctors.

“We call him an angel as he has a heart of gold. I have worked with him and I know the kind of a gem that he is. Salman and I don’t talk much, like, I only say ‘yes, sir, okay sir’. Actually, my wife and Salman are very close. As soon as I was rushed to the hospital, Lizelle called him. And through the six days that I was in the hospital, he saw to it that I was taken good care of. He was also personally talking to the doctors,” the filmmaker told The Times of India.

Salman and Remo worked together in the film Race 3.

Remo also said he had reached his gym for workout when he started feeling unwell. “I took the elevator to go up, I pressed the lift button and sat down. Once I stepped out of the lift I started coughing and I even wanted to throw up. Lizelle saw my smart watch, which checks on the heartbeat and ECG and the screen prompted ‘Are you not well?’ This pain was something that I had never experienced in my life. On reaching the hospital, we were told by the doctors that it’s a major heart attack,” he shared.

After suffering a heart attack, Remo underwent angioplasty and was discharged from the hospital. His wife Lizelle D'Souza had penned a note on this occasion of Christmas thanking everyone who stood by her during these tough time and also called Salman Khan an ‘angel’ for his emotional support.
