  • Apart from the fact that they are among the most beautiful and talented actresses in Bollywood, Sridevi, Madhuri Dixit and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan have another thing in common - the choreographer behind their superstardom. It was an old saying in Bollywood that one could not be a number 1 actress unless Saroj Khan taught you to dance. Saroj Khan and Sridevi have a golden association which produced movies such as <i>Judaai, Mr Bechara, Khuda Gawah, Lamhe</i> and <i>Chandni</i>. 
And, of course, Madhuri was propelled to stardom with the chartbuster song <i>Ek Do Teen</i> (<i>Tezaab</i>) which was choreographed by Saroj <i>ji</i>.<br><br>

Meanwhile Saroj and Ash worked together in a string of movies including <i>Guru, Umrao Jaan, Balle Balle Amritsar To LA, Kuch Naa Kaho</i> and Devdas.</i><br><br>
