The late Yash Chopra’s wife, Pamela, passed away on Thursday in Mumbai. She had a 74-year-old age. Javed Akhtar and Yash Raj Films both posted on Twitter to confirm the information. Pamela claimed in a 2015 interview that her initial encounter with Yash Chopra was “extremely brief” since he was too preoccupied attempting to convince Hema Malini to star in a movie. Yash Chopra, who passed away in 2012, was well-known for his romantic comedies and collaborated as a producer and director on five decades of films with some of the biggest stars in Bollywood.
In 1970, Pamela and Yash Chopra got hitched.
Aditya Chopra, who is wed to actors Rani Mukerji and Uday Chopra, is Pamela Chopra’s only surviving child. Yash Raj Films’ production company is led by Aditya (YRF). Pamela, better known as Pam Chopra, talked about the men in her life, including her late husband and kids Aditya and Uday, in an old interview.
When asked about her first encounter with Yash Chopra in 2015, Pamela had stated to Rediff, “I guess I spoke to him for the first time at Yashji’s niece’s wedding sangeet. Simi Garewal, a seasoned actor and talk show host who is also his cousin, was hosting me when I was in Mumbai for my vacation. He invited me, and I went with him. He claimed that my singing Punjabi music would be a huge asset. At first, I hardly ever spoke to him. He was too preoccupied attempting to get Hema Malini to star in a movie. He was in the balcony with Hema the entire time. Only after the song began did he enter. I was humming. He approached me and gave me praise for my singing. And that’s all.
In 1970, Pamela and Yash Chopra were married in a planned ceremony. Pamela was questioned about whether she knew he was a film producer when they initially met in the same interview. Oh course, I was a total cinema nut, she retorted. When a new movie came out every Friday, we used to see the matinee. Nonetheless, I was a fan of Raj Kapoor rather than Yash Chopra. The fan was excessive. Romesh Sharma’s mother was a friend of both our families (Yash and her). He observed me singing at a wedding in Delhi and believed I would serve as an example for Yash. She wasn’t mistaken, as our marriage was lovely.
Pamela was last seen talking about her late husband in the Netflix documentary The Romantics.
