Sarkari Award

Remo D’Souza on National Award: ‘Sarkari naukri na sahi, sarkari award hi sahi’

राष्ट्रीय पुरस्कार पर रेमो डिसूजा: 'सरकारी नौकरी ना सहि, सरकारी पुरस्कार हाय साही'

Proud', 'nervous', 'complete', 'special' - at the ceremony on Tuesday, this year's National Award winners described how this sarkari recognition made them feel.

I feel complete after this award: Remo D'Souza
The choreographer, who received the award for best choreography for Bajirao Mastani, said that he has won many awards so far, but the National Award is a lot more special to him. He dedicated this win to his father and said, "I feel complete after winning the National Award. I feel very proud. My father always wanted me to get a government job, he wanted me to get into the airforce, but sarkari naukri na sahi, sarkari award zaroor mil gaya. This one is specially for my dad. I got associated with Bajirao Mastani much later and Sanjay Leela Bhansali was very clear about what he wanted, so it was very easy for me. Jo jo instructions mile thay maine wohi kiya. But I did a lot of research as it was not just any other choreography. Since it was a period film and the characters were known, we had to choreograph keeping in mind ki kahin se koi uth ke yeh na bol de ki aisa to kabhi kuch hua nahi tha."
