When Saroj Khan criticised Ganesh Acharya & Farah Khan's choreography; read

Late choreographer Saroj Khan was known for her bold charisma. As per a report of an entertainment portal, in an old interview, Saroj Khan had opined her thoughts about Katrina Kaif's dance number, Chikini Chameli. Saroj Khan had revealed that the choreography of Chikini Chameli according to her was vulgar because Ganesh Acharya emphasised too much on one hip movement. Khan reportedly further added that the song was not done as a Lavaani and Ganesh went for out-and-out vulgarity.

The same report further mentioned that Saroj Khan also took a dig at Farah Khan and said that the song Sheila Ki Jawani was better than Munni Badnam Hui. Khan then stated that the song wasn't that good but the dance was better. Saroj Khan continued to say that Farah can't dance and that Sheila Ki Jawani was better than the other item numbers.
