When Yash Chopra Went To Navy For Completing The Music Of His Film Kabhi Kabhie

Any discussion about Bollywood is basically incomplete without the mention of the late Yash Chopra. The man not only taught the definition of romance to the Indian audience and changed the career trajectory of some of the biggest stars in the business but also affected popular culture in ways no one has ever been able to.

People who were fortunate to work with this absolute legend never get tired of telling stories of his extraordinary passion for his craft and the way he could literally take care of any crisis with a calm mind. One such incident involves the musician strike in Bollywood that was going on during the time Yash Chopra was making the cult favorite Kabhi Kabhi. As time was running out, it was imperative for him to finish the music of the film but since no musician from the industry would budge, he went ahead and recruited musicians from the Indian Navy.

The film and the music of the film went on to be a massive success and has a cult following even after almost 43 years of its release.
