Chopra 's maverick lay in simply seducing his audience with unrealistic beautiful environment, filled with passion, music and love.

His audience enjoyed every minute of his films, which were largely a repertoire of breathtakingly striking moments displaying human emotion in its finest form. But, Chopra called his school of films "simple stories of human emotions and relationship."

Yash Chopra celebrated his 80th birthday on September 27.

He helped lovers express their emotions with words like 'Kabhi Kabhi mere dil mein khayal aata hai' or 'Dekha ek khwab toh yeh silsilay hue' or 'Tu mere saamne... tujhe dekhun ki pyar karoon'.

Chopra passed away at the Lilavati Hospital in Mumbai at 5.30 pm on Sunday after battling dengue which resulted in a multi-organ failure. He was admitted to the hospital on October 13.

Yash Chopra will be cremated at Chandanwadi crematorium in Mumbai.

He celebrated his 80th birthday on September 27. Call it his intuition, Chopra had declared that Jab Tak Hai Jaan, starring Shah Rukh Khan, Katrina Kaif and Anushka Sharma, would be his last film and he would not actively direct any other film. He had taken up direction after a hiatus of nine years after directing Veer-Zaara (2004), starring Shah Rukh Khan, Preity Zinta and Rani Mukerji. Born in Lahore, Chopra started as an assistant to elder brother filmmaker B.R. Chopra and comedian-cum-filmmaker I.S. Johar. His directorial debut Dhool Ka Phool (1959), brought him in the forefront as the film raised a controversial topic of illegitimacy.
