However that meeting never happened and beforewinning Oscar he was told by his manager that Michael wants to meet him and outthe blue he decided that he will only meet him if he wins Oscar or else no. “Ithought for a moment and said, ‘I will meet him if I win’,” he recalled.“Otherwise, I don’t want to meet him.”

Adding the moment of his lifetime he said, “He(Michael) opened the door for me wearing (his iconic) gloves and sunglasses. Iwas standing in front of him on the high of winning two Oscars as the whole ofIndia was going crazy about it. It was surreal. We spoke for about two hours.We spoke about a lot of things such as love and hatred. We discussed the Jai Hosong. He said to me like my music, his dance moves also flow from his soul. Andsuddenly he stood and danced for me. I felt like being struck by a thunderbolt.”
