Choli Ke Peeche was one of the most popular songs in the 1993 from Subhash Ghai’s Khal Nayak starring Sanjay Dutt and Madhuri Dixit. Madhuri and Neena had performed the dance number with the male lead Sanjay Dutt also making an appearance as part of the plot. The song was sung by Alka Yagnik and Ila Arun.
Legendary choreographer Saroj Khan passed away earlier this week. Neena Gupta who had acted in numerous films earlier, rose to fame again with ‘Badhaai Ho’. She has shared her condolences in a video on Instagram. She shared her experience of working with her during the making of the song Choli Ke Peeche and a dream which may now never be fulfilled. Talking about how Saroj made her feel at ease during the song, Neena said in the video, “It was my first day on the sets of Choli Ke Peeche. I had heard about Saroj Khan as she choreographed many big names and was very nervous. Madhuri Dixit was in front of me which made me all the more nervous. When Saroj ji showed me the dance moves, I became numb and said, ‘I won’t be able to do this’. I had no confidence. She asked me what am I capable of and assured me that she will incorporate those moves in the choreography. She made me feel so comfortable and slowly I also understood what she wanted from me.”
