The 2020 year seemed to be a cursed year. Apart from the Coronavirus pandemic which has been severely affecting the human race since day 1, Bollywood is losing some irreplaceable talents and finest gems. Stars like Rishi Kapoor, Irrfan Khan, Wajid Khan, Sushant Singh Rajput and others have departed for their heavenly abode in the last few months. Today, ace choreographer Saroj Khan passed away due to cardiac arrest and as the condolences and tributes for the late choreographer started coming in order, Amitabh Bachchan penned down a long note on Saroj Khan and also in the remembrance of those that have left us. It’s heartbreaking.
While sharing an adorable snap of the veteran star with himself, he recalled a memory and put down in words in his caption section which read, "Saroj ji .. you gave us and the industry , rhythm, style, grace of movement and the art of converting the lyrics in a song to a meaning in dance... on a chance meeting many many years ago she paid me my best compliment .. she was living in Dubai then from marriage and when DON was released she said, “ I saw the film and then after, I would go to the theatre where it was released, at the time when your song ‘khaike paan.. was on , see it and come out .. I used to do it regularly every day .. I would tell the usher to let me in just to see the song and leave .. that is how much I enjoyed your dance moves ..” coming from her was the ultimate ... a legacy has passed away .."
He further wrote, "And the show moves on .. in remembrance of those that have left us during this time of the times .. day by day they go away .. leaving us all with the happy memories of their presence .. of their immense contribution .. of their life long creativity, captured and documented on celluloid for posterity .. I shall end for the DAY now .. the mind is filled with remorse and grief"
