Her first solo work was the choreography for the hit song ''Dhol Baje" in the movie Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam which eventually got a national award!Then she took a small break from the field,but came back with a bang composing the song "O Ri Chhori'' in the form Lagaan..After that she didnt have to turn back..She became recognised as one of the best choreographers in Bollywood..

yeah the song was very beautifully choreographed. she deserved award for that and got it in the very beginning of her career...great for her..
between i like the title of the topic...
in this sec nothing much has been discussed about her, when she used to judge nach baliye 3 , she really did have some great fans on IF that time, who used to post some great topics about her..that time i was new here...bw i am not that good at writing...

Ohhhhhhhhhh you mean "Dholi taro Dhol Baaje"....How stupid i am....Its one of my favs too 😛. I thought maybe a new song😛

Also... i would like to add that in all the movies mentioned above.... She did not choreographed all the songs of the movie.... sometimes 1 or 2 ..and sometimes maybe all the songs.
