Born
Nirmala
Nagpal,
Bollywood's
most
loved
'masterji' started
her
career
as
a
child
artist
at
the
age
of
three.
In
the
late
1950s
she
turned
her
focus
towards
dancing.
Saroj
Khan
got
her
first
independent
break
in
Bollywood
as
a
choreographer
in
1974
through
Geeta
Mera
Naam.
It
was
the
year
1987
and
the
film
Mr.
India
which
gave
Saroj
Khan
recognition
in
the
industry
as
she
choreographed
for
the
very
famous
song
'Hawa
Hawaai',
and
then
there
was
no
looking
back
for
her.
She
became
the
known
Bollywood
dance
master
and
worked
with
many
stars.
'Ek
Do
Teen'
from
and
'Humko
Aaj
Kal
Hai'
from
are
still
hits
which
were
choreographed
by
Saroj
ji.
In
her
well-established
career,
she
even
judged
various
dance-based
reality
shows.
Even
though
Saroj
Khan
had
a
wonderful
career,
she
was
facing
a
lot
of
difficulties
in
the
last
few
years.
She
was
not
getting
good
work
which
indirectly
affected
her
financial
stability.
The
last
notable
work
she
had
was
in
2019
when
Dharma
Productions
got
her
on
board
for
'Tabaah
Ho
Gaye'
from
their
film
Kalank.
The
production
house
was
constantly
in
touch
with
the
choreographer
to
support
her
during
the
tough
times
by
providing
work.
Saroj
Khan
won
three
national
awards
for
choreography
and
tops
the
list
with
eight
Filmfare
awards
for
the
same.
Apart
from
this,
she
was
also
an
advisory
member
of
Rishihood
University
in
Haryana.
Saroj
Khan
contributed
46
years
of
her
life
in
choreographing
songs
for
Bollywood
and
her
death
had
void
a
space
in
the
industry
that
no
one
could
ever
fill.
