When I think of dance, grace, sensuality, the ability to make a song come alive simply with facial expressions, only one name comes to mind..Some of the most epic songs in Hindi films would not be what they are without her choreography. A huge loss. RIP Masterji🙏🏼💔 #SarojKhan pic.twitter.com/ERDfQWVD3o
