You taught me to dance when I was two left feet. Your patience and passion for dance was so infectious that each one of us not only learned Kathak, but so much more from you. You will always be remembered Guruji. ? #panditveerukrishnan https://t.co/pfQerVQgby

Many Bollywood and TV actors, including Katrina Kaif had received training in Kathak from Veeru. In a Teachers Day special interview in 2016 when Katrina was asked to name her favourite guru, she took Veeru Krishnan’s name. He also trained her sister Isabel Khan.

May his soul rest in peace!
