Saroj Khan (born Nirmala Nagpal; 22 November 1948 – 3 July 2020) was an Indian dance choreographer renowned for creating iconic dance sequences over a career spanning more than six decades in Hindi cinema. She choreographed routines for over 300 films, shaping the movement language of mainstream Bollywood and influencing generations of performers and choreographers. Khan began her career at the age of three as a child artiste in Nazarana (1952), later transitioning to background dancing. She apprenticed under master choreographer B. Sohanlal before establishing herself as an independent choreographer, marking the beginning of a prolific and transformative career. She became legendary for crafting memorable dance sequences for leading actresses such as Sridevi and Madhuri Dixit. Her most celebrated works include “Hawa Hawai” (Mr. India, 1987), “Ek Do Teen” (Tezaab, 1988), “Dhak Dhak Karne Laga” (Beta, 1992), “Choli Ke Peeche” (Khalnayak, 1993), and “Dola Re Dola” (Devdas, 2002). Her choreography was distinguished by a fusion of classical Indian dance forms with cinematic storytelling, redefining Bollywood’s visual and rhythmic vocabulary. Beyond cinema, Khan expanded her influence through television, serving as a judge on dance reality shows such as Nach Baliye, Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa, and Boogie Woogie. Through mentorship, she emphasized disciplined technique, expressive clarity, and emotional storytelling, contributing to the professionalization and wider recognition of choreography during the rise of reality television in India. Her honors include three National Film Awards for Best Choreography, a record eight Filmfare Awards in the same category, and the IIFA Lifetime Achievement Award (2019), among numerous other distinctions. Saroj Khan is widely regarded as one of the most influential choreographers in Indian film history. Her life and career were documented in The Saroj Khan Story (2012).
