New Delhi: Choreographer Terence Lewis was at the receiving end of social media trolls after a video of him from a dance reality went viral. The clip, which is a morphed one, showed Terence touching Nora Fatehi inappropriately. A few days ago Nora broke silence over the video and spoke about "video morphing and photoshop" and now, Terence reacted to it. 

In an interview to BollywoodLife, the choreographer said that he did not bother about the video initially as it was clear it was morphed. However, when he started receiving hate messages, he decided to share his take on social media.

"Why would I do something of that sort two weeks after shooting for a very intimate sequence with her. Thankfully, throughout my life I have got enough love and attention from the opposite sex to not feel depraved. I have the highest respect for Nora Fatehi. That kind of thing would only tickle a 17-year-old. I am 45," Terence told the publication. 

This was what he posted on Instagram:

A Zen Master and his disciples of monks were walking in the Himalayas back to their monastery. On their way to the monastery they had to cross the river Ganga flowing fully though less violently.  There was an young beautiful maiden in distress, sitting close to the banks, whose village was just across the river. She was scared to cross the river by herself so she asked the elder monk to help her cross the river. "Sure" said the Zen Master and held her up in his arms. They crossed the river and he let her down gently as she went to her village after thanking the Master. The younger monk wasn't taking this all easily. He looked little worried. The monks came to their monastery after couple of hours of difficult walk in the hills, but the younger monk was still not settled. Sensing it the Guru asked him what the matter was. The young monk said "Master, we have sworn of not touching a woman, but you carried her in your arms, you tell us not to think of women but you touched her" complained the disciple. The Zen Master smiled n replied "I carried her across the river and left her on the other side. Are You Still Carrying Her ? "  Thank you @norafatehi for being the most elegant, dignified n classy guest judge & for your implicit trust in me! #zen #philosophy #pathofleastresistance #loveandkindness #indiasbestdancer @sonytvofficial #dance #norafatehi #terencelewis

Nora had replied to Terence's post saying, "Thank you! In today's time of social media video morphing and photoshop effects for meme purposes.. I'm glad you have not let it bother you and you have remained poised and dignified! This too shall pass. You and Geeta mam have been so respectful with me and have made me feel so loved and accepted as a judge on the show, it's been a great life learning experience! Stay blessed."

Nora Fatehi had filled in for Malaika Arora as one of the judges on 'India's Best Dancer' after she tested positive for coronavirus earlier in September.
