Kareena Kapoor Khan had further revealed that it is difficult to impress Saroj Khan as during the shoot of her debut film, Refugee. Bebo had said, “It is very difficult to impress her! During the shoot of ‘Refugee’, Master ji told me ‘you don’t know how to move your hands and legs, how did you choose to become an actress? You are Karisma’s sister.’ I told her ‘but I don’t know how to dance, Masterji.’” (Also Read: Life Of Saroj Khan: Married Her 41-Year-Old Guru-Dance Director B. Sohanlal When She Was 13-Year-Old)

Crediting Saroj Khan for being the reason behind every heroine becoming a 'heroine', and had remarked, “She then told me ‘if you can’t move your hands and legs you need to dance with your face’. She used to ask me to observe her closely and watch her face when she used to perform an entire song with her expressions. This is the reason why every heroine has become a heroine today only because of Master Ji. That’s all!”

Revealing how she used to lock herself up in the bathroom to rehearse the expressions master ji had taught her, Kareena Kapoor Khan had recalled, “I used to lock myself in the bathroom and practice all of Master Ji's expressions because my mother always told me, ‘if I want to be an actress, I must only watch Master Ji's songs and see the close-ups of all the heroines’. I used to really practice them and I think that’s the reason why we have all become heroines today. It was only because Masterji used to show us every expression before the shot.”
