Almost every location has a #YashChopra stamp in Switzerland! His portraits, his statue, trains named after him, Bollywood restaurants, signboards in Hindi and thousands of Indian tourists. I am deeply humbled and proud that I got to spend so much time with him apart from being part of so many #YRF films. Yash ji – You will always be the GREATEST! Jai Ho!”
