On
Saroj
Khan
Fellow
choreographer
Remo
D'Souza,
who
worked
with
Saroj
on
her
last
song,
Tabah
Ho
Gaye
from
Kalank,
said
she
inspired
him
and
all
of
the
dance
fraternity.
He
added,
"She
was
very
passionate
about
her
work.
She
would
not
keep
well
but
whenever
she
came
on
sets,
she
would
feel
alive.
Her
work
was
everything
for
her.
When
I
used
to
talk
to
her
that
'from
where
do
you
get
these
ideas
from?',
she
would
teach
me.
In
some
way
or
the
other,
she
taught
me
a
lot
of
things
about
choreography."
