Shah Rukh has worked with the late choreographer in many movies and songs. Ye Kali Kali Aankhen from Baazigar was one such track. The making video of the same keeps showing up on social media sites as fans love to see BTS footages. You can clearly see what a good camaraderie he shared with her.
My first genuine teacher in the film industry. She taught me for hours how to do the ‘dip’ for film dancing. One of the most caring, loving & inspiring persona i have ever met. Will miss you Sarojji. May Allah bless her soul. Thank u for looking after me.

Did you know Saroj Khan was the one who came up with SRK's signature pose of his arms stretched wide? Yes, in an interview, Khan had revealed, "We were shooting Baazigar in Mauritius. He (SRK) takes the name of land and sky, there's a back shot and he opens his arms. Then he turns and reveals the name on his chest by opening his shirt. I gave him this action there." So you see, SRK owes a lot to Khan!
