Saroj Khan passed away at the age of 71 today midnight and funeral rites too were performed in the morning. The entire film industry drowned in the melancholy and mourned her sudden sad demise. Now the social media is inundated with the legendary choreographer’s posts.

Among them, Amitabh Bachhan too grieved her death and shared the most cherished moments in his life with Saroj Khan. He honoured the ace choreographer Saroj Khan, by sharing a couple of excerpts from the earlier shoot time, when Saroj Khan was an associate dance director under a choreographer.

He recollected the fond memories and wrote, “She was a sprightly young enthusiastic dance assistant to one of the major dance directors of the time when I was just beginning the film Bandhe Haath with the heartthrob of millions Mumtaz with the director OP Ralhan”.

The actor said that late Saroj Khan caught his attention with her subtle grace in dance movement among the crowd of dancers. Later she soon went onto excel and snatch the podium title ‘dance director’ that changed to dance choreographer later.

Big B specifically recounted an incident where he received a coin on sets. He said that, “When she would see an artist give a good shot under her care, she would call him or her aside and give a rupee coin as a gesture ..as a pat on the back”. He said he too received it and finds it as an immense achievement.

Big B also reminisced an ultimate moment when Saroj Khan complimented him for his stunning dance moves in ‘Khaike Pan’ in Don. The actor has put another Instagram post to share about this excerpt when he had a chance meet with the choreographer.
