The first time Yash Chopra missed his flight in his life, was when he met his wife Pamela Chopra who stole his heart in the first meeting!

Mrs. Chopra shared her cute little love story at the London Asian Film Festival 2014, beaming as if it was just yesterday when she met Yash ji whom she described, looked dashing in a maroon kurta. And the rest is history!

The couple took films to another level all together in Hindi cinema. The love, warmth, lust, picturesque cinematography, almost a world tour kind of an experience, Yash Raj Films have given India the most romantic and dramatic films ever!

Here are 10 reasons why Yash Ji is irreplaceable as the King Of Romance!

1. Costumes

Had Yash Chopra not spent months on knit picking quintessential Yash Raj chiffon sarees and furs for his stunning heroines, or he hadn't made sure that the fold of the sweater that his hero wore over his shoulders was in the right place, Bollywood would have missed out on the best of iconic fashion trends in life. Didn't his vibrant colors and amazingly cut fabric make you want to run to your tailor? 

2. Around the world with Yash Raj

We're literally travelled half the world through Yash Raj movies! Shooting at the best of breath taking countries, India wouldn't have dreamt of romanticism the way it does now! Those green pastures and wind hitting the hair strands of the heroine for the right amount of time, love got more dramatic for Indians, All thanks to Yash Chopra! 

3. The Ideal Father

From literally supporting the current YRF head honcho Aditya Chopra as an assitant director in Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, he made sure his younger son too got a fair chance at the movies! No wonder Adi Chopra wrote an imaginary conversation with his father to announce his project #BEFIKRE after seven years! He did let him project that ideal father in DDLJ though! Remember Anupam Kher sent his son on a euro trip when he flunked his grad school? Too cool and why not!

4. Versatile Filmmaker
