Saroj Khan, who passed away on July 3, 2020, is remembered as one of the most influential choreographers in Indian cinema, known for her work on iconic songs like Ek Do Teen and Dola Re Dola. Her journey began in the film industry at the tender age of 3, and she became a group dancer to support her family after her father's death. At just 13, she married dance director Sohanlal, but the marriage turned out to be illegal as he was already married with children. After enduring a tumultuous first marriage, Saroj found love with businessman Sardar Roshan Khan in 1975. She converted to Islam for him, stipulating that he adopt her children from her first marriage. Despite her successes, Saroj faced profound personal tragedies, including the loss of her infant daughter and her daughter Kuku, who died in 2011. Her dedication to dance was evident even during her health struggles, as she continued to work passionately until her passing during the COVID-19 pandemic.
