Preity
Zinta
Remembers
Yash
Chopra
As
A
Man
Who
Had
The
Biggest
And
The
Youngest
Heart
The
actress
wrote
in
her
post,
"Remembering
Yash
Uncle
-
My
fav
director,
a
man
who
had
the
biggest
and
the
youngest
heart.
He
spoilt
me
with
food,
love
and
his
wonderful
stories.
After
I
worked
with
him
for
Veer
Zaara
he
never
called
me
Preity
again.
It
was
always
Zaara.
Yash
Uncle,
you
will
forever
live
in
my
heart
and
millions
of
hearts.
Thank
you
for
enriching
our
lives
by
giving
us
such
beautiful,
meaningful
and
memorable
cinema.
Love
you."
Preity
Zinta
Says
Veer-Zaara
Is
Not
Just
A
Movie,
But
An
Era
Last
year,
when
Veer-Zaara
completed
15
years
on
November
12,
Preity
Zinta
penned
a
emotional
post
which
read,
"Remembering
the
Iconic
Veer
Zaara
today
-
It's
not
just
a
movie,
but
an
era.
A
time
of
decency,
dignity,
love,
respect,
and
honour.
It's
my
most
memorable
film
experience.
Working
with
the
greatest
director
of
all
time,
Yash
Chopra,
who
insisted
I
call
him
Yash
Uncle
while
he
called
me
Zaara
till
the
day
he
passed.
There
will
never
be
another
movie
and
a
story
like
this,
music
like
this,
another
director
&
legend
like
him,
another
Veer
like
@iamsrk
&
another
Samiya
like
Rani.
I
still
pinch
myself
and
I
am
forever
indebted
to
be
a
part
of
this
labour
of
love.
I
miss
you
Yash
Uncle
❤🙏❤

What
Made
Veer-Zaara
Special?
The
film
marked
Yash
Chopra's
directorial
comeback
film
after
Dil
To
Pagal
Hai
in
1997,
and
featured
a
number
of
unused
Madan
Mohan
melodies.
Late
Yash
Chopra
had
told
Rediff
in
an
interview
that
Veer-Zaara
was
one
of
the
most
difficult
films
that
he
had
ever
made.
He
had
also
opened
up
about
casting
Preity
Zinta
and
said,
"I
wanted
a
girl
whose
look
and
personality
could
be
transformed.
She
has
always
been
presented
as
tomboyish
and
Westernised.
In
Veer-Zaara,
I
wanted
to
change
her
into
something
different."
