On the latest episode of Sunday Brunch, our Editor-in-Chief Kamiya Jani shared a delicious meal with Remo D’Souza and his wife Lizelle D’Souza at their beautiful home. The choreographer-turned-director opened up about his life like never before, including his 2020 heart attack and the love and support he received at that time, especially from Salman Khan and Varun Dhawan.
Remo D’Souza On Suffering Heart Attack Despite A Healthy Lifestyle
With a strict diet and regular workout routine, Remo D’Souza had been leading a healthy lifestyle. So when news of his heart attack broke in 2020, it shocked not just the film industry but the entire nation. The choreographer-turned-director had a 100% arterial blockage and suffered a major cardiac arrest.
Given his fitness, his wife, Lizelle D’Souza, was understandably stunned and asked doctors how this could happen. They told her that it was his level of fitness that helped him walk to the hospital and ultimately survive the attack. The attack occurred when Remo was in the gym, and he was immediately taken to the hospital when he complained about the discomfort.

Lizelle D’Souza recalled being distraught at the time, while Remo D’Souza shared how he reassured her, asking her not to cry and promising that he would come back safe and sound after the operation. Reflecting on that difficult phase, Remo spoke about the overwhelming love and support he received from the entertainment industry and his fans.
“During that time, I saw the love of the people. That’s where you come to know what you truly earn in life,” he said. Lizelle added that hospital staff informed her that more than 50 people were waiting outside for updates, with several others inside, all deeply concerned about Remo.
She also shared that Varun Dhawan was among the first to call and kept checking in on Remo’s condition throughout the ordeal. Another major source of support was Salman Khan, who, according to Lizelle, stayed on call with her, helped her remain calm, and ensured that all necessary documents for the surgery were signed without delay. She added that the constant support and prayers from well-wishers gave Remo strength during the tough time.
