Terence Lewis reveals the reason why ace choreographer Saroj Khan used to abuse and behave rudely

Popular Choreographer Terence Lewis renowned for his impeccable dance technique, recently made his appearance on Bharti Bharti Singh and Harsh Limbachiya’s podcast and spilled beans about the legendary dancer Saroj Khan. Well, her death was no less than a shock for the Bollywood industry. Though she was known to be as a straight forward person by nature, she gained limelight for being rude and abusive various times.

Terence Lewis spilled the beans on why Saroj Khan had to act in a certain manner. Speaking to Bharti Singh and Harsh Limbachiya on their podcast Bharti TV Clips, Terence said, “People who questioned, ‘Why does she abuse or behave so rudely’, they need to know it is extremely difficult for women to work in this industry where it is dominated with men. They have to be rough and strong. The ruthlessness of the industry kills the women in them. They have to turn into men to survive in the industry."

He added, “I don’t know if you have noticed, the male choreographers are comparatively calmer than the female choreographers. They are more abusive than the men… And I will tell you why, it is because they have to prove it time and again that ‘Hey, don’t take me lightly, I will whack you otherwise’."

Terence said, “We men don’t have to do it as much; but as a woman, you have to, in this male-dominated industry. It’s a sad thing. People have killed the women in them. This is why they even behave, walk and talk like men."

Saroj Khan's Bollywood legacy comprises choreographing more than 2,000 songs, many of which became chart-toppers such as Hawa Hawai, Ek Do Teen, and Choli Ke Peeche Kya Hai.
