Actress Mini Mathur penned a lengthy note for her Jhalak Dikhlaja 2 choreographer and reminisced the time when Hemu taught her the basics of the dance. Mini shared a series of throwback pictures from the reality show on Instagram and wrote that those who will understand that when Hemu Sinha was designated to be her choreographer for Jhalak Dikhlaja 2, he had come out of a self-imposed exile from dance after 15 years and had lost 25 kilos and was raring to go. She further admitted that she was skeptical initially because Mini thought she needed someone ‘sharper’ to make her look good since she was a novice at dance forms that weren’t about jumping wildly to music. But later, the actress wrote that after spending over 5 months with Hemu, she realized how beautifully and easily he taught her the intricacies of so many dance styles. Later, Mini praised Hemu’s knowledge of dance and his ability to deliver the best within a short time period of time which really impressed her. 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Those who know, do. Those who understand, teach. When Hemu Sinha was designated to be my choreographer for Jhalak Dikhlaja 2, he had come out of a self imposed exile from dance after 15 years, had lost 25 kilos and was raring to go. I was skeptical because I thought I needed someone ‘sharper’ to make me look good since I was a novice at dance forms that weren’t about jumping wildly to music. Over 4 -5 months Hemu taught me the intricacies of so many dance styles : backflips, tango, turns, rolls, salsa, cha cha cha and naga. His knowledge and experience was SO deep that he knew exactly at which angle a hold could go wrong. I was impatient, competitive and liked short cuts. He was patient, confident & told me to enjoy learning the form without worrying about scores and votes. A true teacher. And the only one who I could match a step with in heels. Today he passed away due to covid. RIP Hemu .. make the angels dance with you. #RIP #HemuSinha #choreographer #danceteacher
