The daughter of the late choreographer Saroj Khan has said that she worked irregularly due to her health, and that several of her former collaborators used to monitor her frequently. Saroj died on Friday after cardiac arrest. She was 71 years old.
In an interview for ETimes, her daughter Sukaina said: “She was receiving offers to work, but at the same time, due to her age and health, she wanted to be in the background. But I was still doing a couple of jobs. She had actresses learning with her, including Alizeh Agnihotri, Ananya Panday, Sara Ali Khan, Saiee Manjrekar – all of these girls were training with her. Back then she considered herself very lucky and connected to Bollywood alike. She went to television very soon. And I think Bollywood began to accept the fact that she liked television more than Bollywood, while Bollywood was in her blood. I couldn’t leave Bollywood at all.
Sukaina added: “Everyone was in contact. Madhuri madam, Subhash hee, Jackie hee, Mr. Govinda, everyone called her and so did I. They asked me about her health and how she was. When they heard the news, everyone was shocked like us. We didn’t expect something like this to come our way. “

Remembering their first meeting, he said in Hindi: “I came to you wanting to learn to dance. But he had no money. And you lovingly told me that we will worry about that later. In an Instagram video, Madhuri wrote: “I miss you Saroj hee. Every conversation with her was full of knowledge, inspiration, and energy. This is how she lived life and this is how I will always remember her. “
