Saroj Khan dies at 71 after cardiac arrest

Choreographer Saroj Khan, the feisty ‘Masterji’ of Bollywood who stormed into a largely male bastion with her dance moves in numbers like Dhak Dhak, Hawa Hawaii and Ek Do Teen, died following a cardiac arrest at a hospital here early Friday. She was 71. The three-time National Award winner had been admitted to the Guru Nanak Hospital in Bandra on June 20 after she complained of breathing issues. She tested negative for COVID-19. Khan is survived by her son Raju and daughter Sukaina.
