Shah Rukh Khan Remembers Yash Chopra On His Birth Anniversary, Says 'He Would Be So Happy For Me...'

On Yash Chopra’s birth anniversary, Shah Rukh Khan during an #AskSRK session was asked about the late filmmaker. The actor had the sweetest message for Yash Ji. He responded saying, “Love Yash ji and miss him….he would be so happy for me right now.”

Shah Rukh Khan and Yash Chopra worked together in several iconic films like Veer Zaara, Dil Toh Paagal Hai, Darr including the latter’s last film Jab Tak Hai Jaan.

Earlier this year, in the docu-series The Romantics, the actor had opened up about his time with Yash with a big smile but couldn’t hide his sadness while talking about Yash Chopra’s final few days and his death. The actor starred in Yash’s final film, Jab Tak Hai Jaan.

Speaking about his last shot for Jab Tak Hai Jaan, King Khan recalled, “He(Yash Chopra) became very emotional after the last shot of Jab Tak Hai Jaan. Then he started crying. He said this could be our last shot. I was like why last shot? Then he said, No there’s no more shots left of you.”

Shah Rukh Khan continued reminiscing about his last meeting with Yash Chopra. He revealed that the meeting took place at a function that they were attending. “I went to hug Yash Ji and he was shivering. He had a fever. He told me mujhe bukhaar ho raha hai. I had come from a shoot to attend a function. I had my dinner and everything. And the next evening we lost him,” he said.

The episode then featured a byte from one of the YRF staff members who said, “I told Shah Rukh that I lost my father. Unhone kaha aap akele nahi hai. Maine bhi apna pita khoya hai. So he also looked at him like his father figure.” A silent Shah Rukh sat at the edge of his seat while the voice over played.

Shah Rukh Khan is currently basking in the success of his recently released film Jawan. The film has minted over 1000 crores at the global box office. He is now gearing up for Dunki, which is all set to hit the theatres this December.
