Madhuri Dixit, in her 35-year long career in Bollywood, has mesmerised the audience with her flawless beauty, great acting skills and graceful dancing. The actress, being a trained classical dancer, added her Midas touch to every film she did and had her fans spellbound. While Madhuri is undoubtedly credited for those adahs and nazakat, it was veteran Saroj Khan's choreography that added the cherry on the cake. Considering the ace dancer to be her idol, Madhuri and Sarojji remain to be the best example of guru-shishya in Bollywood till date. And so, the actress, on the latter's birthday today, shared an endearing post for her on her Instagram.
Madhuri, while sharing a picture with Sarojji, wrote that their journey to date has been amazing and the ace choreographer holds a special place in her heart. "Happy birthday to one of my favourite people @sarojkhanofficial ji. Our journey together has been amazing and I will always be proud of the legacy you have created. You are my Guru and will always hold a very special place in my heart," Madhuri wrote.
Madhuri and Sarojji have worked together for songs like Mera Piya Ghar Aaya, Dhak Dhak Karne Laga, Choli Ke Piche Kya Hai, Ek Do Teen, Dola Re Dola and the recent song from Kalank titled Tabah Ho Gaye. The actress, at the recently held IIFA 2019 awards, paid a tribute to Sarojji by performing to her iconic numbers.
Sarojji, born as Nirmala Nagpal in Mumbai to a couple, who migrated to India after partition, began her career early as a child actress and learned dance on film sets from renowned choreographer and Kathak guru B Sohanlal.
