Ace choreographer Saroj Khan is missing from the Bollywood scenario for the longest of time. A guru to choreographers like Ahmed Khan, Remo D'Souza and Ganesh Acharya, she was a well-known celebrity choreographer, known for giving Madhuri Dixit some of her iconic songs. She believes none of the songs today are memorable and it's very difficult to distinguish between actresses because everyone is afraid of close-ups. In her recent conversation with Mumbai Mirror, she explains why the dance sequences in Bollywood these days should not be inspired by western dance forms and how she lost out on Thugs of Hindostan because of Katrina Kaif. Katrina Kaif Praises Alia Bhatt's 'Ghar More Pardesiya' Performance From Kalank and Fans Might Want To Stop Questioning Their Friendship Now!

Speaking about her absence from the B-town scenario, she said, "For a while, I had lost interest but now looking at the haalat of dance, I want to do something good for the industry. I can’t judge actresses because I have only seen them in songs choreographed by others. Katrina (Kaif) looks good and there was a chance of collaborating on Thugs of Hindostan. But as the shoot was coming up, she told the makers she wouldn’t do the song without rehearsals and I was summarily replaced with Prabhudheva." Ahem!

However, she has no qualms about getting replaced as she believes it's a part and parcel of the game. She has enough self-respect to not go to anyone's office asking for help. Yes, she misses coming on the sets but hopes her work would speak for itself.
