Faisal shared, "I have a beautiful memory with Saroj Khan ji. We had once gone to an event outside of Mumbai where I was a judge alongside her and Shakti Mohan. Initially, I was too overwhelmed to be judging beside her, but she made me very comfortable and ensured I sit next to her while judging. It was a very proud moment for me back then. We had a lovely time while travelling to the event and back, discussing dance related topics and our love for dance, which was amazing!"

He further remembered, "I had even performed a guest dance on stage for that event, and in her traditional style she had given me a Rs. 500 note which I till today have kept with me! So for me and the entire dancing fraternity, it is a huge loss of a legendary dancer in our industry!"
