Yash Chopra: From body to ashes to dust

22nd October 2012

'Earth to earth, ashes to ashes, dust to dust', the phrase dictates our lives as a whole body when living, burned to ashes when we die and eventually lingering on earth itself as dust.

But Yash Chopra will be more than ashes and dust to the whole of B-Town. The great man who was wrapped in flowers was finally cremated at the Chandanwadi Crematorium this evening amongst the whole of Bollywood.

His body was kept at the Yash Raj Films since last evening for everyone to pay their last respects. All teary eyed, sons Aditya Chopra and Uday Chopra were accompanied by Rani Mukerji who stood at the front of the stage accepting the sympathies from one and all. Besides the family members, Amitabh Bachchan, Jaya Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan and Karan Johar spent last evening and the entire night at Yash Raj Films studio.

Salman Khan, Priyanka Chopra, John Abraham, Manish Malhotra, Abhishek Bachchan, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and many more also visited the studio last evening itself.

Maharashtra Chief Minister Prithviraj Chavan, Vidya Balan, Rekha, Shahid Kapoor with father Pankaj Kapoor and step mother Supriya Pathak, Parineeti Chopra, Sridevi with husband Boney Kapoor, Manoj Kumar, Kajol with mother Tanuja and sister Tanisha Mukherjee, Tabu, Kabir Khan with wife Mini, Prem Chopra, Ashutosh Gowariker, Vipul Shah, Abbas-Mastan, Ramesh Sippy, Gulzar, Subhash Ghai, Shyam Benegal, Saroj Khan, David Dhawan, Resul Pookutty, Imran Khan and Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy were the others who paid their last respects to the body today.

Rishi Kapoor, Ranbir Kapoor, Randhir Kapoor, Varun Dhawan, Archana Puran Singh, husband Parmeet Sethi and Punit Malhotra were also there.

The funeral procession headed to the crematorium around 2 P.M. where everyone were present.

It was a very emotional moment for the crowd who were present, as they lost a man who bought love and romance through fairy-tales.

Yash Chopra, you will be a remembrance through eternity.
