Recalling one of the incidents where he felt good, Remo said, "There’s this one incident which I can’t forget, I went to this ramp show of kids as a chief guest, and before they introduced themselves, the announcer comes and talks about their hobbies and then 5 kids walk the ramp who say they want to become a dancer or choreographer and their parents are supporting them.”
