Part of Yashji will always be with me: Shah Rukh

Chopra, 80, passed away on Sunday evening following multiple organ failure.

"Whenever my loved ones depart I feel a part of me extinguishes itself with them. Will there come a day that I will no longer have a bit of myself to let go of? And then the thought follows... that every time they have taken some of me with them onto their last journey, I have found a fragment of them left inside me too."

"I will always have some love to give and I will always be both emptied and replenished by the loved ones I lose. I keep u with me Yashji and I miss u too Yashji lots (sic)," Shahrukh posted on his Twitter page.

The actor worked with Chopra in movies like 'Darr', 'Dil To Pagal Hai' and 'Veer-Zaara'. The filmmaker's last directorial 'Jab Tak Hai Jaan', also stars Shahrukh and it will hit the screens on November 13.

Shah Rukh's career's biggest hit 'Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge' was produced by Chopra and directed by his son Aditya.
