Kamal Haasan pays a verbal tribute to Yashji

22nd October 2012

Kamal Haasan, the well known and popular actor from Kollywood is mourning the death of a very talented and skilled artist in Bollywood and he is none other that Yash Chopra.

On this very sad day, millions of people including the common man and celebrities have showered their sympathies and tribute to Yashji and the Chopra family.

And our Tamil star has done the same, but on a verbal note. Kamal Haasan had something very special to say to Chopra which reads below.

"Dear Yash Chopraji, you wont be hearing this now. I wish I had told you this while you were alive. We admired you a lot, we got our confidence out of your work and never clearly told you this. It's not because I was conceited or narcissistic; sometimes we were so awed by the superior personality that you were.

Thank you Yashji. I know it’s a one sided conversation now. But, I have had the privilege of having long conversations with you. I don’t know whether I clearly emulated my admiration for you. Doesn’t matter now, many more generations will admire you. Your family will enjoy the benefits of what you've done; the accolades, the income and all. What matters as an artist for us, is the applause. While I offer my condolences to your family who would want to mourn, I would rejoice the life, the films you made, thank you Mr. Yash Chopra."

Indeed a heartfelt message by Kamal Haasan. Rest in peace Yashji, you will be missed!!
