A time of decency, dignity, love, respect and honour. It’s my most memorable film experience. Working with the greatest director of all time, Yash Chopra, who insisted I call him Yash uncle while he called me Zaara till the day he passed,” wrote Preity.
“There will never be another movie and a story like this, music like this, another director and legend like him, another Veer like Shah Rukh Khan and another Samiya like Rani Mukerji. I still pinch myself and I am forever indebted to be a part of this labour of love. I miss you, Yash Uncle,” she added.
