Priyanka Chopra Jonas has shared her condolences at the death of acclaimed choreographer Saroj Khan. The two had worked together on Agneepath’s song Gun Gun Guna Re Gaana Re. Saroj Khan who was lovingly called ‘Master ji’ by Bollywood celebs passed away in the wee hours yesterday. She was 71-years-old and suffered a cardiac arrest.
In an emotional post, Priyanka wrote, “Many of my teenage dreams came true when she choreographed me in Agneepath. Taskmaster, perfectionist, innovator, trendsetter, genius... Saroj ji was many things to many people. To me, she’ll always be an institution that defined an era of dancing with abandon, emotion & passion. May the heavens dance to your tune Masterji... #RIPSarojKhan.”
