Veteran
choreographer
Saroj
Khan's
demise
is
a
huge
loss
for
the
Hindi
film
industry.
Lovingly
known
as
'Masterji',
she
was
one
of
the
most
respected
choreographers
in
both
Bollywood
and
television
industry.
The
dance
maestro,
over
the
years,
has
been
a
part
of
many
reality
shows,
where
the
contestants
learned
a
lot
from
the
talented
choreographer.
But
did
you
know,
Saroj
had
also
appeared
briefly
on
Taarak
Mehta
Ka
Ooltah
Chashmah
almost
six
years
ago
in
2012.
The
ace
choreographer
made
an
appearance
as
herself
on
the
popular
sitcom
to
judge
a
dancing
competition
in
Gokuldham
Society.
Dilip
Joshi
aka
Jethalal
and
Disha
Vakani
aka
Dayaben
had
performed
on
the
song
Julie
Julie
in
the
special
episode
and
were
rated
as
fantastic
by
Saroj
Khan.
Dilip
tweeted
his
condolence
by
sharing
the
moments
from
the
set
with
the
choreographer.
He
shared
a
beautiful
picture
and
wrote:
“One
of
my
most
memorable
moment...
on
set
of
TMKOC..
R.I.P
Sarojji...”
(sic).
Sonalika
Joshi
who
plays
Madhvi
Bhide
too
recalled
the
moments
with
Saroj
Khan
on
the
show.
In
an
interview
with
SpotBoyE,
the
actress
revealed,
"I
remember
me
and
Madar
performed
on
Govinda
and
Raveena
Tandon's
song
Kisi
Disco
Mein
Jaaye
and
we
had
goosebumps.
But
she
liked
it
and
the
comments
which
she
gave
were
original
and
not
scripted.
Only
for
Dayaben
(Disha
Vakani)
as
it
was
about
her
Garba,
she
was
herself
while
shooting
the
whole
episode
except
the
humorous
line
all
the
comments
and
compliments
she
gave
were
natural.
And
I
feel
blessed
to
have
an
opportunity
to
dance
in
front
of
a
legend."
For
the
uninitiated,
Saroj
Khan
died
of
a
cardiac
arrest
on
the
wee
hours
of
Friday
(July
3,
2020).
The
71-year-old
Bollywood
choreographer
was
in
the
hospital
since
June
17
after
she
complained
of
trouble
breathing.
