Bollywood Choreographer Saroj Khan Passes Away

Famous Bollywood choreographer Saroj Khan, 71, died of cardiac arrest in a hospital in Mumbai on Friday.

Khan was admitted to Guru Nanak Hospital on June 20, after complaining of breathing problems. The Covid-19 test gave a negative result.

"She passed away due to cardiac arrest at around 2.30 am at the hospital," Saroj Khan's nephew Manish Jagwani told news agency PTI. Just days ago, family sources said Ms Khan was better and would be discharged soon. The funeral will be held today, as per news agency ANI.

Tributes to Saroj Khan were shared by the film fraternity after her death. "She made dance look easy," tweeted Akshay Kumar.

Last week, it seemed that Saroj Khan would be home soon from the hospital. "She is fine now and recovering. She had breathing issues and was taken to hospital for that. Her Covid-19 test was done which turned out negative. She doesn't have any symptoms. She is likely to be discharged in a day or two," a family source told PTI.

Filmmakers Anubhav Sinha and Kunal Kohli also shared tweets about Ms Khan 's health after speaking to her family.

After Saroj Khan's death, Kunal Kohli tweeted about the woman he called "Masterji."

Saroj Khan, winner of three National Awards, choreographed some of Bollywood's most iconic dance hits - many of these starred actresses Sridevi and Madhuri Dixit. Khan's earliest routines were for Sridevi in films like Mr India, Nagina and Chandni; she choreographed the quirky moves in Hawa Hawai. Later, she worked with Madhuri Dixit on Tezaab's Ek Do Teen, Thaanedaar's Tamma Tamma Loge, Beta's Dhak Dhak Karne Laga and other numbers.

Saroj Khan won the National Awards for the Choreography of Dola Re Dola from Devdas starring Madhuri and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, all the songs of Tamil film Sringaram, and Yeh Ishq Haaye from Kareena Kapoor's Jab We Played. He has also received the Filmfare Awards for Tezaab, Sailaab, Beta, Chaalbaaz, Khalnayak, Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam, Devdas and Guru.

Saroj Khan is survived by her husband Sohanlal, son Raju, and daughters Hina and Sukanya.
