“Chandni” and “Lamhe” were Rani Mukerji’s favourite films growing up and the actor says she loved the way Yash Chopra presented his heroines on the screen.
The filmmaker’s legacy has been celebrated in a popular Netflix docu-series “The Romantics”, which takes viewers behind-the-scenes of the studio, its movies and the impact the filmmaker has had on Hindi cinema in the last five decades. Mukerji, who is married to YRF’s Aditya Chopra, said she feels fortunate that she got to know him not just as a filmmaker but also as a father-in-law.
“From my childhood, my memory of my favourite films was directed by the one and only Yash Chopra… His name was synonymous with romance,” Mukerji said recalling the images of women in white chiffon sarees framed against the backdrop of snow-covered mountains.
