You’ll be left with your mouth hanging open if she were to break into some jatkas, shimmies and chest thumping coz you are looking at the woman who defined the moves for some of the most popular Bollywood numbers.

The oomph factor behind the best of the best dancers Bollywood has seen – that’s Saroj Khan for you!  She’s been one of the top choreographers in Bollywood  since 1960 and in well over 250 movies…phew!!!!

Be it Sridevi in Naagin & Mr.India; Madhuri Dixit in Tezaab & Beta or Aishwarya Rai in Devdas & Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam, she had them at Go! Hardly a surprise when she joined the hordes and stepped out of the shadows into reality shows to show what she’s got.
