Chopra, who was popularly known as the ‘King of Romance’ for his several films in that genre, directed some of Bollywood’s most successful and iconic films.
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.

Sad news for YRF fans from all over the world. May Yash Chopra's departed soul RIP. It appears that all celebrities who go for treatment into Lilavati Hospital do not return home and families should look into this matter carefully. Seriously did not think Mr. Chopra would lose life's battle to dengue fever from a supposedly reputable hospital. Jagjit Singh, Yash Chopra and so many other celebs have breathed their last at this place, I do hope its' medical care is up to par.
