The teenagers of the 1960s will greatly cherish the memory of Yash Chopra who was instrumental in presenting them with highly meaningful lyrics from Sahir Ludhianvi’s pen, upholding the secular values, through his memorable number Tu Hindu banega na Musalmaan banega (Dhool ka Phool, 1959). The king of romance had to his credit films like Dharmputra and Waqt, dealing with social issues.
