Veteran choreographer Saroj Khan has been admitted to a hospital here after she complained of breathing problems.   

According to a source close to her family, the 71-year-old choreographer was rushed to Guru Nanak Hospital in Bandra on Saturday.

Following her hospitalisation, a mandatory COVID-19 test was done, which turned out to be negative. 

“She is fine now and recovering. She had breathing issues and was taken to hospital for that. Her COVID-19 test was done which turned out negative. She doesn’t have any symptoms. She is likely to be discharged in a day or two,” the source told PTI. 

In a career spanning over four decades, Khan is credited with choreographing more than 2,000 songs. 

The three-time National Award winner has choreographed for some of the most memorable tracks, including “Dola Re Dola” from Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s “Devdas”, “Ek Do Teen” from Madhuri Dixit-starrer “Tezaab” and “Ye Ishq Haaye” from “Jab We Met” in 2007.  She last choreographed for “Tabaah Hogaye”, featuring Madhuri from filmmaker Karan Johar’s production “Kalank” in 2019.
