In a candid conversation with Maniesh Paul, Terence Lewis narrated his journey towards climb to success. In the podcast, the dancer reacted to the old incident which had happened on the sets of India’s Best Dancer. The episode in question had seen Terence as a judge and Nora Fatehi as a guest judge, filling the shoes of Malaika Arora. The video which had gone viral from that episode had shown us Terence touching Nora inappropriately while doing the namaste pose on stage. In the recent interview, Terence said he don’t know if his hand really touched Nora. In his words:
“It was a simple situation. Shatrughan Sinha and his wife had come. Geeta Kapoor felt that we had to do full namaskar to greet them. That week, Malaika Arora had COVID, and Nora stepped into her shoes. I said okay, fine. We did namaskar as respect, but suddenly, Geeta felt that it was not enough and wanted us to do more. So we followed her directions. I don’t even remember if my hand touched her (Nora), I don’t know even if it is really touching.”
In the same conversation, Terence mentioned that since Nora had come to fill on Malaika Arora’s shoes, he was quite friendly with her and they used to dance together. He further asked Maniesh that why would he do something so stupid in front of four cameras. He said:
“On a fair note, two weeks before, Nora had come on the show and asked me to dance with her… Why would I want to do something like this, when there are four cameras around? This is too cheap, you can’t do this. I got abused, in my DMs…”

To this, Terence was seen blushing and suggesting to the host to let it remain a secret. However, he also went on to say that he would reveal the truth ‘off-camera’. In his words:
“Raaz ki baat raaz rehne do (Let this secret be). I will tell you off-camera.”
