Saroj Khan has worked with the who's who of Bollywood. From Madhuri Dixit, Shah Rukh Khan, Kajol and more, her work spoke volumes and there can be no other Mother of Choregraphy like her. Reportedly, her last rites were performed at around 7 am in Mumbai whereas the prayer meet is supposedly going to take place after three days. May her soul rest in peace.
