When we see some of the most flawless dance performances in Bollywood, we kinda always know that the act was woven together by none other than Saroj Khan ji a.k.a masterji. Touted as the one of the finest dance choreographers the industry has seen, Saroj ji was nothing but dear to every actor! She has choreographed more than 2000 songs, some of the most memorable ones are Dola re dola, Chane ke khet mein, Yeh ishq haye, Tabah ho gaye et cetera. She made dance look effortless and she made sure you danced with the widest smile and the most epic expressions. Dance meant the world to her and she meant so much to actors from various generations. From Amitabh Bachchan to Madhuri Dixit, Varun Dhawan to Alia Bhatt, everybody has been a part of her journey!
Here’s how Bollywood expressed themselves –
#1 Madhuri Dixit Nene
#2 Amitabh Bachchan
#3 Kajol
#4 Akshay Kumar
Woke up to the sad news that legendary choreographer #SarojKhan ji is no more. She made dance look easy almost like anybody can dance, a huge loss for the industry. May her soul rest in peace 🙏🏻

My first ever song was choreographed by Saroj ji. And then so many more. You taught me so much. I will miss you, Saroj ji. May you rest in peace. 🙏🏽
