He immortalized romance with his body of work and his death is a great loss to everyone. Though, Yash Chopra's name has become synonymous with romantic films but one can't ignore the list of social family dramas likeTrishul, Deewar, Waqt that the genius has made.
It seems as if the entire film industry has come down to mourn the death of the biggest film maker and one amongst them is popular TV actor Karanvir Bohra.
Karanvir who plays the role of Viraj in Life OK's Saubhagyavati Bhava shares his childhood memories about the iconic film maker. "Yashji, was very known to my Grandfather, Shree RamKumar Bohra and as kids we used to watch Yash Uncle's movies. Then as we started growing older, we realised that Yash Chopraji is 'The Yash' uncle we know."
Karanvir, who has acted in many popular TV shows and Bollywood films, says, "I loved the way he made his actors fall in love and then fall apart-. His movies had this amazing human quality. He is the prime reason of me being an actor as I too wanted to be directed the way he directed Amitabhji, Shashi Kapoorji and Shah Rukh Khan".
Karanvir further adds, "Whenever I am asked by press or anyone what i regret in life, I will always say- I don't like to regret anything in life but not being directed by Yash Uncle is one regret that will stay with me for the rest of my life."
