One of the toughest things about dance choreography is how to find new steps / expressions matching the words of the song and flow seamlessly from line to line. #SarojKhan was an ace at that. This mujra one of my favourite pieces of choreography.https://t.co/voVBKvfFAM — Baradwaj Rangan (@baradwajrangan) July 3, 2020
