Remo D'Souza Recalls Wife Lizelle Broke Down After His 'Scary' Heart Attack: 'Salman Khan Was There...'

Choreographer and director Remo D’Souza recently opened up about the terrifying heart attack he suffered in 2020, which left him with 100 percent blockage. In a candid chat on Mashable India’s podcast with Mukesh Chhabra, Remo shared the harrowing details of the incident and expressed his gratitude to Salman Khan, who was a pillar of support for his wife, Lizelle, throughout the ordeal.

Remo recounted how the incident occurred while he was at the gym, preparing for an appearance on Bigg Boss. “I felt uneasy after stretching and the pain just wouldn’t go away. I started feeling nauseous, and my wife insisted we go to the hospital,” he said. Upon reaching Kokilaben Hospital, doctors informed him that he had suffered a major heart attack with 100 percent blockage.

While his wife Lizelle broke down in fear, Remo admitted he couldn’t believe it himself. “I was laughing because I couldn’t understand how a fitness freak like me could have a heart attack.” The doctors, however, told him that his physical fitness was the only reason he had made it to the hospital on foot. “It was scary. May the lord not let anyone experience what I did,” he added.

During this challenging time, Remo said that Salman Khan was constantly on the phone with Lizelle, offering support from the moment Remo entered the operating room until he came out of the ICU. “Salman was there throughout. There’s a reason why he is so loved. He has a golden heart.”

Remo last directed Street Dancer 3D in 2020 and is now looking forward to his next project, Be Happy, starring Abhishek Bachchan.
