MUMBAI: Filmmaker Subhash Ghai has described prolific choreographer Saroj Khans death as a "personal loss", and said that she will forever live in the history of choreography in Indian cinema.

Almost all the biggest films in Ghai's career had Saroj Khan calling the shots for some of the biggest dance hits in his films. These include "Hero" (1983), "Karma" (1986), "Ram Lakhan" (1989), "Khalnayak" (1993), "Pardes" (1997), "Taal" (1999), "Yaadein" (2001) and "Kisna" (2005).

On Friday, Ghai shared an emotional video talking about Saroj Khan, who passed away after a cardiac arrest in the early hours at the age of 71.

"Saroj Khan. My biggest personal loss. An integral part of my journey in cinema -- Sarojji. Keeping alive classical dance in Hindi cinema was Saroj Khan. Change has come and change will come, but Saroj Khan will not. We all have become masters by becoming her students. Cinema will always remember her. What do I say, I have no words. I am saddened," he said in the video.

Alongside the video he also shared a message, where he said that she was a strong partner in grooming stars like Meenakshi Sheshadri, Madhuri Dixit, Manisha Koirala and Aishwarya Rai.

Meenakshi Sheshadri became an overnight star after "Hero", Ghai's musical blockbuster of 1983. Madhuri worked in the Ghai hits "Ram Lakhan" and "Khalnayak", both of which had superhit dances choreographed by Saroj Khan. Manisha Koirala made her debut in Ghai's 1991 hit "Saudagar", which had several hit song-and-dance sequences, while Aishwarya Rai's dances in "Taal" continue to be a rage to this day.

"An era has gone. Absolutely my personal loss. She was an integral part of our Mukta Arts family-She was my strong partner in grooming stars like Madhuri Meenakshi, Manisha and Aishwarya. Master of masters. Saroj Khan will live in the history of choreography for Indian cinema indeed. Bye Jaan. RIP," said Ghai.
