Katrina Kaif is the main heroine actress of Bollywood. Katrina, who has been in the Hindi film industry for two decades, is always an inspiration to the young generation entering Bollywood. Katrina Kaif is the heroine of superstars then and now. Katrina did more than one movie with Salman Khan, Shahrukh Khan, Aamir Khan and others. Katrina made her Bollywood debut in 2003 with the film ‘Boom’.
But in the first movie, Katrina was a hit. Intimate scenes in movies were very popular at the time. Perhaps Katrina would have been relegated to the ranks of actresses in B-grade movies. Many actresses who came with the dream of Bollywood have faced such scams. But Katrina wisely carried her career forward. Katrina did not hesitate to seek the help of superstar Salman Khan at first. Salman also played a big role in getting the actress to where she is today.
The words of the late choreographer Saroj Khan about Katrina Kaif are drawing attention again. Saroj Khan was talking about the movie ‘Thugs of Hindostan’ in which Katrina became the heroine. Aamir Khan was the hero of the movie released in 2018. Katrina has a song in the movie. This song was choreographed by Prabhu Deva. Saroj Khan was first chosen as the choreographer. But Saroj Khan was replaced due to Katrina’s intervention. Saroj Khan himself said it openly that day.
‘They asked me to choreograph the song Suraiya. But Katrina said that if it is Masterji, she will take a long time to train him. They brought Prabhudeva in my place because the creators didn’t have much time,” said Saroj Khan. Saroj Khan is a choreographer who has worked with most of the Bollywood heroines. Saroj Khan choreographed many of the iconic dance numbers for actresses like Sridevi, Madhuri Dixit and Aishwarya Rai.
Saroj Khan choreographed around 3,000 songs. Saroj Khan was Sridevi and Madhuri’s favorite choreographer during their golden years. But Saroj Khan has clashed with some stars. In this, the estrangement with Sridevi gained much news.
During the movie ‘Chant Ka Tukda’, Sridevi and Saroj Khan had an awkward moment. Sridevi complained that her film songs did not receive the same attention as Madhuri Dixit’s songs.
Sridevi expressed her displeasure when Madhuri Dixit’s ‘Dhak Dhak Karna’ choreographed by Saroj Khan became a hit. The feud between the two continued for a year. They later became friends again and worked together.
Saroj Khan died in 2020. Saroj Khan’s words about the casting couch in the film industry have been controversial. Although there is a casting couch, it gives opportunities to actresses. Saroj Khan Khan said that the film industry should not be blamed alone.
