The First Major Loss to the 90s Generation

Yash Chopra's demise was an extremely sad one.

And one thing I noticed it is, that feels as if his departure is one of the first major losses felt by people who have grown up in the 90s...

Dev Anand, Rajesh Khanna, Shammi Kapoor, all legendary, but they ruled in years that we would probably call the yesteryears.

Does anyone agree that this is the first major void created in the mind of every kid who's grown up in the 90s, being born along with the DDLJ/DTPH/Lamhe/ the likes?

Dev Anand, Rajesh Khanna, Shammi Kapoor = I love their films but I was introduced to them by my parents and elder relatives/friends who were of that generation. Yash Chopra films, I grew up with. When the above three legendary actors passed away, I felt very sad, but there was a detachment still there for those whom I have never met. With Yash Chopra...it feels like I've lost something precious. It's a very strange feeling and yes, void is absolutely the correct word for it. The world has sort of changed overnight, and even though his death won't personally affect me in my day to day life...there is a sense of loss that has come with this that I've never really felt for others before.

P.S no offence intended to anyone else.

PS: Taking nothing away from the yesteryears actors

Then DDLJ redefined bollywood love in such a natural way with connecting it in to NRI's. The film which changed 90's youth and definition of love..

Romance which was taught through YC's films- never rush in to love,every one will have a soulmate and its not about just sex.(

I agree with u.the greatest lost to 90's generation. That may be the reason, how youth felt this much sadness over YC's death
