Saroj Khan's illustrious Bollywood career lasted for about 40 long years. She choreographed over 200 films in her lifetime and delivered blockbuster hits at the Box Office.

Her camaraderie with superstar Madhuri Dixit resulted in superhit dance numbers. 

She was also lovingly called the 'Mother of Dance or Choreography' in India. Her last movie was Karan Johar's 'Kalank' which released in 2019.

May her soul rest in peace!
