Katrina, Rani, Sridevi: Celebrating Yash Chopra, on the ramp
Veteran filmmaker Yash Chopra, who passed away shortly after his birthday last year, would have turned 81 on Friday, September 27.
The Chopra family, in a bid to make the late director's first birth anniversary a memorable occasion, is set to organise a fashion show on the special day. The ethnic outfits will be designed by Diwa'ni, a clothing line inspired by fashionable clothing worn by Yash Raj heroines over the years.
Here's a look at some memorable avatars of Yash Raj's heroines, who are all set to walk the ramp on his birthday.
