Exceptional and Talented Kathak Dancer Pandit Birju Maharaj who even choreographed few songs of Bollywood breathed his last today. He died aged 83 suffering a heart attack at his residence in Delhi.
Madhuri Dixit sharing a picture with Pandit Birju Mahraj penned "He was a legend but had a child like innocence. He was my guru but also my friend. He taught me the intricacies of dance and Abhinay but never failed to make me laugh at his funny anecdotes."
She added "He has left behind grieving fans and students but also left a legacy we will all carry forward. Thank you Maharajji for everything you taught me in dance along with humility, elegance and grace."
