It was Yash Chopra who redefined Indian cinema by spreading romance and love through his films. From Raj-Simran to Veer-Zaara, the late director had given iconic love stories to Hindi cinema in his career spanning six decades. He died on October 21, 2012, just a month before the release of his last film, 'Jab Tak Hai Jaan'. (ANI)
