We are talking about Ahmed Khan, a well-known Indian choreographer, producer, director, and writer, who started his career as an actor but later found his true passion in choreography. Over the years, he has worked on various Bollywood projects, not just as a choreographer but also as a writer, producer, and director. In 2019, he was a judge on the celebrity dance reality show Nach Baliye 9 on Star Plus, further cementing his place in the industry.

Worked as an actor in Mr India

Ahmed Khan was born on 3 June 1974 in Pune, Maharashtra. As a child actor, he appeared in the film Mr. India before discovering his passion for choreography. He later transitioned into a successful career as a choreographer, making a name for himself in Bollywood.

Became choreographer 

Ahmed Khan accidentally became a choreographer when Saroj Khan, who was supposed to choreograph Tanha Tanha in Rangeela, couldn't make it to the shoot. She sent Ahmed, her assistant, instead, as she was busy with another project. Director Ram Gopal Varma, unwilling to delay the shoot, asked Ahmed if he wanted to take over. Nervous but given only ten minutes to decide, Ahmed agreed, and he ended up choreographing both Tanha Tanha and Hai Rama. Out of respect, Saroj Khan's name was still credited, but this moment launched Ahmed’s career as a choreographer.

Escaped death twice

Ahmed Khan has had two close escapes from death. In 2001, he was filming at the World Trade Center just two days before the September 11 attacks. In 2004, he was supposed to stay at a hotel that was later destroyed in the Indian Ocean tsunami but he cancelled his reservation at the last minute.

Personal life:

Ahmed Khan is married to model and producer Shaira Khan, who runs Paperdoll Entertainment. They have worked together on films like Paathshaala and Ek Paheli Leela. The couple resides in Andheri with their two sons.
