Rani Mukherji at the unveiling of Yash Chopra's statute

Yash Chopra's statue was unveiled at the UTV STARS Walk and actress Rani Mukerji became very emotional at the event.

"I would like to thank UTV for this. It's a great moment for all the people who loved Yash uncle and the people who are associated with the family. We will all miss him," a visibly teary-eyed Rani told reporters.

Chopra died Oct 21 last year due to dengue. He was 80.

The statue shows Chopra with his trademark cap and camera and it has been unveiled by the late filmmaker's wife Pamela Chopra and younger son Uday Chopra.

An interesting twist in the tale was when Shatrughan Sinha addressed Rani as 'Rani Chopra' while hinting about Rani's relationship with Aditya. Though everybody laughed it off at the event, it has annoyed everyone concerned. YRF also issued a statement saying that Mr. Sinha had a slip of tongue and that his statements were not to be taken seriously.
