Women
have
outdone
themselves
in
every
walk
of
life
and
well,
it
is
safe
to
say
that
they
have
so
much
more
to
do.
Women
also
play
a
crucial
role
in
Bollywood,
and
not
just
those
in
front
of
the
camera,
but
also
those
working
behind
the
camera.
Bollywood
and
dance
numbers
do
go
hand
in
hand,
and
making
those
dance
numbers
grand,
are
the
so
many
women
in
the
field,
who
have
set
a
benchmark,
and
keep
achieving
more.
This
Women's
Day,
we
decided
to
talk
about
female
choreographers,
who
have
made
a
name
in
the
industry
with
all
the
good
work
they've
done,
and
continue
to
do.
And
the
testimony
to
their
work
are
the
National
Film
Awards
that
they've
won.
Here's
looking
at
5
such
female
choreographers:
Laxmibai
Kolhapurkar
Laxmibai
won
the
first
ever
National
Film
Award
for
Best
Choreography
in
1992
for
her
song
in
the
Marathi
film
Ek
Hota
Vidushak.
And
not
only
that,
she
was
also
the
first
female
choreographer
to
win
the
award
in
the
country.
Saroj
Khan
The
late
choreographer
has
given
Bollywood
a
number
of
hook
steps
that
have
stayed
with
us
since
forever
-
right
from
Dola
Re
Dola
from
Devdas
to
her
choreography
in
Tamil
movie
Sringaram,
and
of
course,
the
much
loved
song
Yeh
Ishq
Haaye
from
Jab
We
Met.
She
was
an
exemplary
dancer,
and
her
steps
sure
breathed
a
one
of
its
kind
life
into
every
song
she
choreographed.
Kruti
Mahesh
Kruti,
along
with
Jyoti
Tomar,
won
the
National
Film
Award
for
her
choreography
for
Padmaavat
song
Ghoomar.
We
have
seen
the
beauty
that
this
song
has
exuded
and
the
popularity
that
it
gained,
and
due
credits
to
the
duo
for
the
same.
In
fact,
Kruti
might
be
headed
for
her
second
award
as
her
most
recent
song
from
Gangubai
Kathiawadi,
Dholida,
has
won
her
immense
applause
and
continues
to
be
the
talking
point
right
since
the
song's
teaser
came
out.
Other
songs
she
has
choreographed
for
include
Ek
Dil
Ek
Jaan
and
Holi
from
the
same
film,
and
Garmi
from
Street
Dancer,
among
others.
Farah
Khan
Farah
won
a
National
Film
Award
for
Koi...Mil
Gaya
song
Idhar
Chala
Main
Udhar
Chala,
and
we
all
know
just
how
popular
that
got
with
everyone.
Farah
has
been
a
great
great
name
to
reckon
with
in
the
industry,
and
continues
to
give
us
some
of
the
finest
songs
in
Bollywood.
Vaibhavi
Merchant
Vaibhavi
won
an
award
for
Dholi
Taro
from
the
movie
Hum
Dil
De
Chuke
Sanam,
in
1999,
and
we
all
know
what
an
amazing
song
it
turned
out
to
be.
Merchant,
has
to
her
credit,
some
popular
songs
including
Ainvayi
Ainvayi,
Kajra
Re,
among
others.
And
we
say,
that's
quite
a
feat
that
all
the
women
here
have,
don't
they?
Wishing
all
the
women
out
there,
a
very
happy
Women's
Day!
