Saroj was not keeping well since the past few weeks. She was admitted to Bandra’s Guru Nanak Hospital last week after she complained of breathlessness. “She passed away due to cardiac arrest at around 2.30 am at the hospital,” Saroj’s nephew Manish Jagwani told PTI.

Popularly known as Masterji, Saroj shaped several actresses’ career in Bollywood. Some of her best works are with Sridevi and Madhuri Dixit. Saroj worked in Bollywood for nearly four decades.

The last bug-budget film she choreographed for was Karan Johar’s ‘Kalank’ which also starred her favourite pupil Madhuri. Popularly known for her work in the films of 80s and 90s, Saroj has apparently choreographed more than 2000 songs in Bollywood.

Saroj is survived by her three children.
