Celebrities and public figures have to deal with scrutiny over almost everything they do or say. However, there are many who decide to tell their truth anywayand Remo D’Souza and Lizelle D’Souza seem to fall into that category. The husband and wife recently spoke in an interview about what spirituality meant to them and how their beliefs have now surpassed the boundaries of a single religion.
While showing off their house on Nayandeep Rakshit’s YouTube channel, the couple was asked about the different idols they had in their house. This included a statue of Mother Mary and Buddha and special temples for Ganesha and Shiv. Lizelle explained that although she is a staunch Catholic and was raised with very specific values, she now feels more comfortable with other religions, especially Hinduism.
Talking about her journey with spirituality, Lizelle said: “For me, it’s very, very important, even for him. I was born Catholic, he was born Hindu and then converted. I always kept Ganpati… for the last 25 years. In the last 4 or 5 years, maybe because of the death of my parents, I suddenly found myself drawn towards Hinduism. “I do all the pujas and stuff, and I like to do it, even though I’m Catholic.”
Why did Remo D’Souza convert to Christianity?
Remo, whose real name was Ramesh Gopi Nair, later recalled the moment he told his parents that you want to convert. When asked if he felt any pressure, Remo said, “No, I think my parents were very… I don’t know how they were so cool.” Lizelle chimed in and said, “One time they weren’t so great, and that’s when my first child was born.” Remo clarified and said, “So we named him Adonis, and my parents are from Jamnagar, so how will you pronounce it? Then we also gave him a Hindu name, Dhruv, so he has two names. Later he grew up and decided to go with Adonis.”
He added that his parents had no objection when he converted to Christianity. “I went one day and told my father that I work a lot for the Church and I think I want to join them. He said, ‘Thik hai, karle. Bas mera naam mat change karna (Okay, do it. But don’t change my name’. That’s why my name is Remo Gopi D’Souza.”
In 2025, Remo visited the Maha Kumbh Mela along with his wife. He later shared a video on social media in which he was seen taking a holy dip in the holy waters of Prayagraj. He also shared a video with him. wife while visiting Tirupati temple.
