'She made dance look easy almost like anybody can dance,' wrote Akshay Kumar on Twitter.
Remembering the ace choreographer, Taapsee wrote, "Your songs will make every girl remember you for ever n ever."
In a career spanning over four decades, Khan is credited with choreographing more than 2,000 songs, including 'Dola Re Dola' from Sanjay Leela Bhansali's 'Devdas', 'Ek Do Teen' from Madhuri Dixit-starrer 'Tezaab' and 'Ye Ishq Haaye' from 'Jab We Met' in 2007.
Most of the songs choreographed by Khan had big names as lead actors. Khan has also trained a slew of choreographers who went on to make a big name for themselves in the '90s, including Farah Khan. Khan was known for blending Indian classical dance with modern beats.
Actress Madhuri Dixit has often credited Khan for catapulting her to fame by choreographing several of her dance numbers. The song 'Dhak Dhak' starring Dixit from 1992 film 'Beta', was choreographed by Khan and went on to become a national rage.
She last choreographed for 'Tabaah Hogaye', featuring Dixit from film-maker Karan Johar's production 'Kalank' in 2019.
Khan is survived by her husband, son and two daughters.
