Today marks the legendary filmmaker Yash Ji's birth anniversary and Pinkvilla got in touch with Raveena who was all praises for him.
The actress said, "Yash ji can be called as one of the pillars of our industry. An amazingly large hearted lion of a man. Always treated his units like one big family rather than professional relationships. He is sorely missed."
That is sweet, indeed.
We also got in touch with Anushka Sharma who spoke candidly about Yash ji and said, "Yash ji was always in a good mood and laughing. During the shoot of JTHJ (Jab Tak Hai Jaan), every morning, I would come to the set and see Yash ji standing there beside the camera, getting ready for the first shot. That used to create an excitement in me. That was one my cherished memories of him."
On a piece of advice that she received from Yash ji and the actress revealed, "How you say something is more important than what you say."
