Saif revealed, "I was shooting a lovely romantic song late at night in Hyderabad and the heroine was having a bit of trouble with the expression. Saroji yelled on the mike: "Sex !!! It’s sex !! Have you never had sex ?????" she could shame us into performing!"

The actor went on to add, "A song with her often became real art, with every beat and step requiring an emotion and expression. Like she told Kareena once: "If you can’t move your feet , move your face at least !!" That era is gone and that music is over, but for all of us who have had the privilege of being instructed on set by that great lady, will never be able to hear a Hindi film song without thinking of how she has made the greatest names in bollywood from Amitabh Bachchan and Sridevi to Shahrukh khan and Madhuri Dixit, dance to her tunes. Rest in peace masterji, and thank you for everything you gave us."
