The
Hindi
film
industry
lost
a
much
loved
and
respected
choreographer,
Saroj
Khan,
on
Friday,
July
3,
2020.
Saroj,
who
had
collaborated
with
almost
every
actor
in
Bollywood,
from
Madhuri
Dixit
to
Amitabh
Bachchan,
was
unable
to
work
as
much
during
the
later
years
of
her
life.
Her
daughter
Sukaina
revealed
that
although
Saroj
started
working
in
TV,
she
couldn't
leave
Bollywood,
and
that
many
celebrities
such
as
Madhuri
Dixit,
Govinda
and
others
continued
to
keep
in
touch
with
her.
Speaking
to
ETimes,
Sukaina
said
about
Saroj
Khan,
"She
was
getting
offers
to
work,
but
at
the
same
time,
because
of
her
age
and
health
she
wanted
to
take
a
back
seat.
But
still
she
was
doing
a
couple
of
jobs.
She
had
actresses
learning
with
her,
including
Alizeh
Agnihotri,
Ananya
Panday,
Sara
Ali
Khan,
Saiee
Manjrekar
-
all
these
girls
were
training
under
her.
So
she
considered
herself
very
lucky
and
connected
to
Bollywood
equally.
She
went
into
TV
very
soon.
And
I
think
Bollywood
started
accepting
the
fact
that
she
liked
TV
more
than
Bollywood,
whereas
Bollywood
was
in
her
blood.
She
couldn't
leave
Bollywood
at
all."
She
continued,
"Everybody
was
in
touch.
Madhuri
ma'am,
Subhash
ji,
Jackie
ji,
Govinda
sir,
everybody
kept
calling
her
up
and
called
me
too.
They
would
ask
me
about
her
health
and
how
she
was
doing.
When
they
heard
the
news,
they
were
all
shell
shocked
like
we
were.
We
didn't
expect
something
like
this
coming
our
way."
Saroj
died
due
to
cardiac
arrest
at
the
Guru
Nanak
Hospital
in
Bandra,
Mumbai.
She
was
71.
