Saroj Khan, born Nirmala Nagpal in 1948 in Mumbai, is celebrated for her groundbreaking choreography in Hindi cinema. She married dance director B Sohanlal at the tender age of 13, unaware of the complexities ahead. After converting to Islam and taking the name Saroj Khan, she discovered that Sohanlal was already married and had four children. Despite the emotional turmoil, she remained dedicated to her family and career. After their separation, she married Sardar Roshan Khan, who embraced her children, and together they had another daughter. Throughout her career, Khan choreographed over 2,000 songs, including iconic hits like ‘Ek Do Teen’ and ‘Dola Re Dola,’ and left an indelible mark on Indian dance with her expressive storytelling and classical foundations. Even during hardships, her passion for dance remained evident, as noted by filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali, who highlighted her dedication even from a hospital bed.
