2020 is making us witness the deaths of talented and versatile actors. It all started off from Irrfan Khan's demise and within 24 hours, legendary actor Rishi Kapoor breathed his last and in the last month, we witnessed young actor Sushant Singh hanging himself. Now, ace choreographer of Bollywood Saroj Khan left the world and made the Film Industry mourn once again.

Fondly called as 'Master ji', Saroj Khan choreographed hundreds of songs and even introduced the amazing dancing talents of Sridevi, Madhuri Dixit and a few other actresses to the audience. Not only Bollywood, but this ace choreographer worked for Tamil and Telugu movies as well.

She created a niche for herself and choreographed the songs straight from Amitabh ji to current generation actors as well. Holding the experience of 4 decades, Saroj Khan did her best and gave her everything to the dance field making us witness amazing performances of actors on the big screens.

Her life was not at all bed of roses; she was married at the age of 13 to a married man whose age was 43. Later she got married to businessman Sardar Roshan Khan in 1975 and this couple was blessed with a daughter Sukaina Khan.
