Veteran Bollywood choreographer, Saroj Khan, passed away due to cardiac arrest on early Friday morning.
The three-time National Award winner had not been doing well for some time and her health was deteriorating with each passing day, reported The Indian Express.
According to various Indian media portals, she had been admitted to Guru Nanak Hospital in Bandra last weekend after she experienced difficulty in breathing. She had tested negative for coronavirus.
Khan has choreographed more than 2,000 songs during her four decades long career. Some her famous works are ‘Dola Re Dola’ from Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Devdas, ‘Ek Do Teen’ from Madhuri Dixit-starrer Tezaab and Kareena Kapoor’s ‘Ye Ishq Haaye’ from Jab We Met.
She last choreographed Madhuri Dixit in the song ‘Tabaah Ho Gaye’ from Karan Johar’s production Kalank(2019).
Many celebs who have worked with her have expressed their grief after hearing about Khan demise:
