Veteran filmmaker Yash Chopra passed away in 2012 at the age of 80. He breathed his last after developing complications of bacterial pneumonia and dengue that led to multi-organ failure. On Thursday, the entire film industry remembered him on his 9th death anniversary. 

Uday Chopra, the son of Mr Chopra, penned a heartwarming note on Twitter for his father. He wrote, "My father passed away this day 9 years ago. He left a void not only in the film industry but in the lives of all he touched. I think he took a part of me with him which I may never get back, but that is fine. We are all incomplete beings and we must learn to live with that."
