MUMBAI, OCT 22:
Veteran Bollywood /Hindi filmmaker and ‘King of Romance’ Yash Chopra passed away at a suburban hospital in Mumbai on Sunday.
The Bollywood movie mogul Yash Chopra, whose classic love tales made him the Indian film industry's "King of Romance," celebrated his 80th birthday on September 27, had been admitted to the Lilavati hospital in Mumbai last week on account of dengue infection, hospital sources said.
Chopra's earliest major hits included the 1975 action film "Deewar" ("Wall") and the romance "Kabhi Kabhie — Love is Life" in 1976, both of which helped establish Amitabh Bachchan as Bollywood's biggest star.

The popular 1989 film "Chandni" ("Moonlight") had Chopra's signature touches: romance, music and a European setting.
He also directed "Dil To Pagal Hai" (The Heart Is Mad), "Lamhe" ("Moments") and "Veer-Zaara," which won the popular award at the International Indian Film Academy and the Golden Lotus award at India's National Film Awards. His final film, "Jab Tak Hai Jaan" ("As Long As I Am Alive"), is scheduled for release across India next month
