What does the mentor disciple relationship mean to you? Celebrities explain how they benefited from the guru-shishya relationship, and what it signifies in their lives

Kunwar Amarjeet Singh, actor
I look upto Terence Lewis as my guru and mentor. From my first audition for Dance India Dance (DID) till date, he has always been there for me as a guide. When I was giving my auditions for DID my main focus and wish was to learn under Terence sir but unfortunately I was disqualified. However, I came back in the second season well prepared to join his team. He was my favourite judge as well on the show. I have a strong bond with him and when I was training under him he taught me how not only to be a better dancer but also a better person. He treats me like his younger brother and I remember when I had gotten eliminated, he literally cried. Today if the world knows me as a contemporary dancer, its only due to Terence sir. He always told me, "Kunwar fight with your fears and see where you will reach". He has trained and helped me improve my personality, helped me improve my English and I really believe that I am where I am today thanks to his guidance and support.
