| Remo is flying high ... and why not? His protg Salman Khan has been declared winner of Dance India Dance!
What is that X –factor in Salman which made him the winner? His generosity, talent and down to earth attitude are the key factors behind his success. Will Salman be a part of your troupe? Any other contestants you would like to include? Yes, he would be a part of my troupe and I will guide him in making a career in films. Mayuresh, Paulson and Jai would also be a part of my troupe. What was the first thought triggered in your mind when the winner's name was announced? I was flying high; it was like a dream come true. My hard work paid off, all that mental and physical pain vanished at that moment. How much of the credit for Salman's win goes to you? It's 50-50. I did my job and he did his by performing the acts well. Which was the most difficult dance form you choreographed? Chau, in which he has fire around his body; that was the most dangerous dance form as it required immense strength. Like the other two finalists, was Salman also a professional dancer? No. He only knew salsa; all the other dance forms he learnt on the sets of DID. Besides Salman, who were the most deserving contestants? Undoubtedly Jai and Elisha. Has Salman's win added an edge to your career too? Yes, definitely, his win has added to my popularity and exposure. How was your experience as a mentor? The experience of making a common man a star was great. What was your strategy behind choreographing the act for your students? I made sure I used their talent properly so that they looked good on stage. In future, would you be a part of any other dance reality show? I would love to, but it should be the best and a level above DID. |
