In a career spanning over four decades, Khan is credited with choreographing more than 2,000 songs. Khan shot to fame in the late eighties, choreographing Sridevi superhits such as Main Naagin Tu Sapera (Nagina) and Hawaa Hawaai (Mr India).
The three-time National Award winner has choreographed for some of the most memorable tracks, including Dola Re Dola from Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Devdas, Ek Do Teen from Madhuri Dixit-starrer Tezaab and Ye Ishq Haaye from Jab We Met in 2007.

While it would be unfair to say she was wholly responsible I think everyone would agree that she played a huge part in moulding Madhuri Dixit’s most iconic songs that in turn shot her stardom more earlier and more spectacular than otherwise. #SarojKhan pic.twitter.com/V1XRgf3HMK
