instead of her. The airport manager even delayed the flight until his wife got a picture with Terence!
Airport Manager’s Unexpected Request
In conversation with Pinkvilla, Terence recalled how the airport’s general manager recognized him and praised his show, saying his whole family watched it. The manager insisted on a photo for his wife, even though she was 45 minutes away. When Terence mentioned his flight, the manager jokingly said he wouldn’t let it take off without the picture!
Lewis further shared that Priyanka, who was sitting opposite him, was surprised by the attention he was receiving. They had worked together before, but she had never seen him get so much admiration. Curious, she invited him to sit next to her and asked about his life. Terence explained that his show had become a huge success, bringing him recognition and love from audiences. Priyanka, as always, was kind and supportive, congratulating him and expressing her happiness for his success.
Priyanka Chopra Turns Photographer
When the general manager’s wife arrived, she saw the actress sitting next to Terence. Priyanka, being kind as always, offered to take the picture herself. Terence appreciated her generosity and realized the massive impact of television. His own family never watched his show, as they prioritized academics over entertainment. Terence made his TV debut as a judge on Dance India Dance and remained on the show for three seasons.
Terence Lewis has judged several dance reality shows, including Nach Baliye (Seasons 5, 6, and 8), So You Think You Can Dance (2016), Dance Champions (2017), and India’s Best Dancer for four seasons. He has also choreographed songs in Lagaan (2001) and Goliyon Ki Rasleela: Ram-Leela (2013).
