- About Yash Chopra : "I'm really touched that he thought about me. Everybody says, "You're good," but no one ever offered me anything."
- The SDIPA motto: "Have feet, will dance!"
- [observation, 2013] When I started off twenty years ago, Bollywood dance did not have a structure. The first movie I choreographed went on to win a national award and introduced jazz technique to Bollywood. It was a first for Indian cinema to have properly choreographed pieces with dancers who were trained and had fit bodies. This movie - 'Dil Toh Pagal Hai' - is considered a turning point for dance in Bollywood movies.
- Dance is a celebration of life, it is such an integral part of our culture. And what better than doing something that gives you joy and also gets you fit!
- Dance and fitness found a new meaning when people saw the first Bollywood film that I choreographed. Since then, one thing that has been a constant is extremely fit dancers. What people considered as a revolution of sorts thirty years back, has now become a norm.
- Everyone has a different body type, fitness has nothing to do with size. It is your lifestyle that determines your overall health. Dance is positive step in this journey.
