Back in the days when people used to be criticised for being a dancer, are now looking at it with much more respect. It’s a difficult art form.

I’m blessed to have this art form and get up everyday looking forward to create something new which will be remembered forever.”

Which has been your most fondest memory of any of your song? 

“This time I would definitely wanna talk about Bijlee Bijlee which we shot in Russia. It’s dear to me is because I met lovely artist Harrdy Sandhu and the association became a hit. The song has also got a global appreciation which makes me even more thankful to my craft.”

Speaking about his dream with dance now Rajit says, ”I would like to explore more as a dancer. Because there’s so much more to learn and mostly to spread the awareness and knowledge about dance.”

Lastly the successful choreographer shares his tips for the budding choreographer. “I would like to tell them never give up on your dreams. Have patience and give your best for  every song you do.”
