Saroj Khan; Sophie Choudry
Legendary choreographer Saroj Khan taught dance to the likes of Madhuri Dixit, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and many other actors who are today known for their agility and fabulous dancing skills. The ace dancer put together the moves for over 2000 songs, many of which became hits and are still popular with the audience.
Saroj Khan passed away on July 3 in Mumbai, leaving behind a huge void that cannot be filled. Several celebrities took to social media to condole her demise and express their sorrow. Sophie Choudry spoke to mid-day about it, she said, "Growing up in London I was a huge fan of Hindi film dances. I lost count of the number of times I had danced to 'Ek do teen', 'Channe ke khet mein' and so many. She was the first Indian choreographer whose name I knew, whose style I recognised. I wish I had been choreographed by her but I did get to dance in front of her once when I did a guest appearance on Jhalak Dikhla Ja and performed Salsa."
