Veteran choreographer Saroj Khan, who was admitted in a hospital in Mumbai on June 20 after she complained of breathing issues, passed away today due to a cardiac arrest.
Born as Nirmala Nagpal, Saroj Khan began her career by playing the young Shyama onscreen in Nazarana. She soon became a background dancer under the mentorship of dance director Sohanlal.
In a career spanning over four decades, Khan was credited with choreographing more than 2,000 songs. The three-time National Award winner had choreographed for some of the most memorable tracks, including Dola Re Dol from Devdas, Ek Do Teen from Tezaab, and Ye Ishq Haaye from Jab We Met.
