Saroj Khan Demise: Daughter Sukaina Reveals Late Choreographer Was Cremated With Her Own Money; Says, 'Woh Bahut Khuddar Thi'
Ace Bollywood choreographer Saroj Khan left for her heavenly abode on July 3, that is, last Friday due to a cardiac arrest. For Saroj, success and fame didn't come easy. Her struggles begun from a very young age and that only made her a lot more empathic and selfless. In a conversation with Navbharat Times, her youngest daughter Sukaina Nagpal revealed how Saroj was, in fact, cremated with her own money. She further shared an incident that will only make you respect Saroj Khan more than ever before. Sukaina also cherished some fond memories spent with her mother and called her a fighter.

Sharing the incident with the portal, Sukaina said, “After my mother’s funeral, it was time to pay the cemetery. In an absolute hurry, my husband and I forgot to keep the money. The car and driver were also not nearby. Then suddenly, I checked my purse and found three thousand rupees. Coincidentally, that money belonged to mom. She had given it for some work before the lockdown. She was so self-sufficient that she also gave the money for her coffin before passing away.”

Adding how Saroj never used to bargain with the poor, Sukaina added, “Whenever mom used to come home, she used to bring fruits. Once she went to get fruits herself and was charged more than its worth. I asked her driver that mom used to get fruits from here, to this he replied, yes and revealed she never bargained. I then asked mom that the fruit seller takes more money, why don’t you negotiate, to which she said, ‘He is poor. The poor should never lose money; he also has to run a family. If he does not rob me, whom will he rob?’”


Saroj Khan was indeed among one of the kindest souls to exist, may her soul rest in peace.
