Saroj Khan (22 November 1948 - 3 July 2020) was one of the most famous and leading choreographers of Bollywood and sadly, we lost her today as she died due to a sudden cardiac arrest in Bandra at the Guru Nanak hospital, Mumbai.

Saroj Khan got fame Bollywood with the song 'Hawa Hawai' in Mr India (1987), followed by projects like Nagina (1986) and Chandni (1989). She later worked with Madhuri Dixit when she choreographed the song 'Ek Do Teen' in the film Tezaab (1988), followed by more successes including 'Tamma Tamma Loge' in Thanedaar (1990) and 'Dhak Dhak Karne Laga' in Beta (1992). Since then, she was one of the most successful choreographers of Hindi cinema.

Bollywood was very attached to Saroj Khan as many actors and directors took it to social media to pay their condolences on her demise. Madhuri Dixit, Remo D'Souza, Akshay Kumar, Amitabh Bachchan, and Kareena Kapoor mourned the loss of the legendary Saroj Khan on social media. Check out some of the posts here -
