Mumbai: Veteran choreographer Saroj Khan, who was admitted to hospital here, is under observation and doing fine, family sources said on Wednesday.
Khan was rushed to Guru Nanak Hospital in Bandra on June 20 after she complained of breathing problems.
A source close to her family told PTI that the 71-year-old choreographer is doing better and will be discharged soon.
"She is under observation but is doing fine. She is much better. She shall be discharged soon," the source said.
Following her hospitalisation, a mandatory COVID-19 test was done on Khan, which turned out to be negative.
