Filmmaker Anubhav Sinha has confirmed on social media that noted choreographer Saroj Khan, who has been hospitalized due to breathing problems over the past few days, is doing well and that there is nothing to worry about, adding that she will be out in a day or two. Sinha's tweet on Wednesday morning corroborates an earlier report by IANS, which also stated that the 71-year-old veteran choreographer had been admitted in Guru Nanak Hospital, Bandra, since Saturday, and that mandatory test had revealed she is COVID negative.
"Just spoke to people looking after Saroj Ji. She is in fact in hospital. But doing well. Should be out in a day or two. Nothing to worry," Anubhav tweeted. "Was there for regular treatment. Felt weak, got admitted. Tested Covid too. Negative. #SarojKhan," he added.
Kunal Kohli even shared her health update and tweeted, "Spoke to #RajuKhan just now.Son of #SarojKhan,He said Masterji is doing better & is recuperating. She was taken to the hospital as she felt breathless. No covid.She’s better now.He thanks everyone for their prayers & wishes.We hope & pray our beloved Masterji is home soon."
Saroj Khan shot to fame in the late eighties, choreographing Sridevi superhits such as "Main naagin tu sapera" (Nagina") and "Hawaa hawaai" ("Mr India"). She has also given Madhuri Dixit some of her biggest hits including "Ek do teen" ("Tezaab"), and "Dhak dhak" ("Beta") among numerous others.
Lately, she has been selective with signing new projects. Her recent works include choreographing Kangana Ranaut in "Manikarnika" last year and "Tanu Weds Manu Returns" in 2015. Her last major assignment has been directing Madhuri's moves in last year's release, "Kalank".
