(Clockwise from left) Stills from Mr India, Devdas, Tezaab and Lagaan Choreographer-filmmaker I had a close relationship with Saroj ji. I had danced under her and she danced in my film ABCD: Any Body Can Dance (2013). We choreographed the Kalank song, Tabaah Ho Gaye, together, which was her last. She changed the way Indian dances were used in cinema.
