Priyanka Chopra paid tribute to late choreographer Saroj Khan in her Twitter post. The actress stated that her "teenage dream came true" when she got the chance to work with Saroj Khan, who choreographed her in the song Gun Gun Guna Re from her film Agneepath, which also starred Hrithik Roshan, Sanjay Dutt and late actor Rishi Kapoor. "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 and passion. May the heavens dance to your tune Masterji... RIP Saroj Khan," Priyanka Chopra wrote on Twitter.
