Scroll through these timeless pics of Saroj Khan with Bollywood stars

Bollywood choreographer Saroj Khan died after a cardiac arrest on Friday in Mumbai. She was 71. One of the most prolific choreographers of the Hindi film industry, Saroj Khan, fondly called 'Masterji' in Bollywood, had called the shots in over 2,000 songs spanning over four decades. 

Although Saroj Khan started out in the early seventies, she really became a household name in the mid to late eighties, first directing some memorable dances for Sridevi and then Madhuri Dixit, the reigning superstars of the era.

She gave Madhuri Dixit some of her most iconic hits including 'Ek Do Teen and 'Dhak Dhak and 'Dola Re Dola' among numerous others. Her last major assignment was Madhuri's 2019 film 'Kalank'.

"I'm devastated by the loss of my friend and guru," Madhuri wrote in her condolence message for Saroj Khan.

"This news has left me heartbroken. Saroj ji was not just a legend but also a humble person. We shared a beautiful relationship & worked in many films together. Her contribution to the industry is irreplaceable as there was no one who could dance like her. Om Shanti," Sanjay Dutt wrote.
