Since the alleged clip surfaced on social media, many users are irked and are bashing Terence for the seemingly inappropriate act. Several Twitter users were furious at him and used derogatory terms for Terence.

Why there is no reaction from her.? Could have turned around and slapped him.?

Now, Nora Fatehi has responded to the viral video and opened up about the same.

Terence posted a picture on Instagram where he can be seen carrying Nora in his arms. The photograph is from the dancing show India’s Best Dancer of the time when both the judges performed together. In his Instagram post, Terence had posted a pic of him with Nora. His caption reads,

“A Zen Master and his disciples of monks were walking in the Himalayas back to their monastery. On their way to the monastery they had to cross the river Ganga flowing fully though less violently.

There was an young beautiful maiden in distress, sitting close to the banks, whose village was just across the river. She was scared to cross the river by herself so she asked the elder monk to help her cross the river.

“Sure” said the Zen Master and held her up in his arms. They crossed the river and he let her down gently as she went to her village after thanking the Master. The younger monk wasn’t taking this all easily. He looked little worried.

The monks came to their monastery after couple of hours of difficult walk in the hills, but the younger monk was still not settled. Sensing it the Guru asked him what the matter was. The young monk said “Master, we have sworn of not touching a woman, but you carried her in your arms, you tell us not to think of women but you touched her” complained the disciple.

The Zen Master smiled n replied “I carried her across the river and left her on the other side. Are You Still Carrying Her ?”

While Terence has not directly addressed the issue, he shared a picture wherein he can be seen carrying Nora in his arms. He indirectly explained the entire episode through a monk’s story.
