हिंदी सिनेमा का ध्रुव तारा, जिसने सादगी में प्यार करना सिखाया, स्विट्जरलैंड को बना दिया था ‘लव स्पॉट’

New Delhi: Yash Chopra, who takes Bollywood’s romance abroad, is still taken with great respect. His films were not an action, drama, or violence, but also the depth of love. He made many memorable films in his career, but one aspect of his films was such, which also made his name immortal on foreign soil. He showed Switzerland in his films that he became a romantic dream destination for Indians. (Photo courtesy: IMDB/Yashraj Films)

Yash Chopra was born on 27 September 1932 in Lahore (now in Pakistan). Since childhood, he wanted to become an intelligent fame engineer in studies and was also preparing to go to London for this. But luck had something else approved. (Photo courtesy: IMDB/Yash Raj Films)

Yash Chopra’s heart was engaged in films and then he came to Mumbai to his elder brother, BR Chopra. There he started his career as an assistant director and learned the nuances of filmmaking. Shortly after, he directed his first film ‘Dhul Ka Phool’ in 1959, which immediately gave him recognition in the film industry. (Photo courtesy: IMDB/Yash Raj Films)

Gradually Yash Chopra started making films and ruled the hearts of the audience. He made films like ‘Wall’, ‘Trishul’, ‘Kabhi’, ‘Silsila’, ‘Dar’, ‘Ittefaq’, and ‘Lamhe’, which are still considered classic today. In these films, he not only gave depth in stories, but also made the characters so that they are still remembered. The special thing was that in Yash Chopra’s films, Pyaar was shown not just a feeling, but as a feeling. (Photo courtesy: IMDB/Yash Raj Films)

In the 1980s and 90s, when most of the films were filled with action and action, Yash Chopra again brought romance to the screen. His film ‘Chandni’ brought the audience back to the world of simplicity, music and love, which people had forgotten. A large part of the shooting of this film took place in Switzerland. It is from here that Yash Chopra fell in love with Switzerland and he shot many films continuously. (Photo courtesy: IMDB/Yashraj Films)

Yash Chopra introduced Switzerland litigants with white sarees and romantic songs of actresses in such a way that the place for the people of India began to look like a dream. He filmed the icy mountains and quiet lakes there so beautifully that the government of Switzerland also became convinced. Giving them respect, the government made a road named after him. A special train ‘Yash Chopra Express’ was run and a 250 kg bronze statue was installed in Interlaken, which is still present there. This was the most unique international honor ever received by an Indian film director. (Photo courtesy: IMDB/Yash Raj Films)

The impact of this success of Yash Raj was not limited to films only. He founded Yash Raj Films in 1973, which has become the largest and prestigious production company of Hindi cinema today. His son Aditya Chopra carried forward this legacy and made an iconic film like ‘Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge’. Yash Chopra, along with Shah Rukh Khan, made films like ‘Dar’, ‘Dil To Pagal Hai’, and ‘Jab Tak Hai Jaan’, which got a different color of romance. (Photo courtesy: IMDB/Yashraj Films)
