Ace choreographer Saroj Khan passed away on July 3 due to a cardiac arrest. Fondly called as Masterji, Saroj Khan has left behind a legacy in dance. She started her career at the age of 3. She worked as a child artiste in movies and then when she grew up, she worked as a background dancer. Her life was full of struggles and she had gone through a lot to reach the peak of her career.

In a video of Brut, while talking about her journey as a choreographer, Saroj Khan said, “My daughter died when she was 8 months and 5 days old. Afternoon prayers were in her destiny and after burying her I had to catch a train at 5 pm for the shoot of ‘Dum Maaro Dum’ from the film ‘Hare Rama Hare Krishna’.”

Saroj Khan also said that it was Subhash Ghai who gave her the first break as a choreographer in his movie ‘Hero’. From there she started getting name and people started recognising her as a good choreographer. Then she got the song ‘Ek Do Teen’ and since then she never looked back.
