Mumbai 'King of Romance' Yash Chopra dies at 80

	Mumbai 'King of Romance' Yash Chopra dies at 80 In the five-decade long career that followed, Chopra made romantic films like Silsila, Kabhi Kabhi, Chandni, Lamhe, Dil Toh Pagal Hai and Veer Zaara. Chopra, who has won six National Film Awards and 11 Filmfare awards, including four Filmfare Award for best director, was honoured with the Dadasaheb Phalke Award in 2001 and the Padma Bhushan in 2005 for his contributions towards Indian cinema. Chopra's first film was Dhool Ka Phool in 1959, which was about illegitimacy, and he continued making several socially hard-hitting films, including Dharmaputra. His action thriller Deewar established superstar Amitabh Bachchan as the 'angry young man'. Chopra was the one who began the concept of multi-starrers in Waqt (1965). His last movie Jab Tak Hai Jaan starring Shah Rukh Khan, Katrina Kaif and Anushka Sharma is scheduled for release during Diwali. He still had to shoot a song for the film in Switzerland, a destination Chopra made popular among cinegoers in India. Message from Yash Raj "Yash Chopraji breathed his last at around 5.30 pm today. Details of his last rites will be communicated later."	From: BreakableVideo Views: 18 0 ratings
