Yash Chopra was madly in love with this actress, wanted to marry her, proposed her many times but she rejected the offer due to...
Let us tell you that the actress we are talking about is Mumtaz, and the man who fell deeply in love was late director Yash Chopra. Mumtaz once ruled the film industry. She made her debut as a child artist in the film 'Sone Ki Chidiya'.
Over the years, Mumtaz created her dominance in the industry and also turned out to be one of the highest-paid actresses of her time. When Mumtaz started making headlines, she grabbed the attention of Yash Chopra. Mumtaz played lead roles in several films directed by BR Chopra, Yash Chopra's brother, during a time when Yash Chopra was working as an assistant on those projects.
What followed next was that Yash started visiting Mumtaz. Not just that, he even proposed to the actress to get married to him. But she never got romantically involved with him.
In an interview with Pinkvilla, the veteran actress opened up about the same. She said, 'Yash used to say, hey moti, I love you yaar… marry me.' When Yash's elder brother BR Chopra came to know about Yash's feelings towards Mumtaz, he agreed to get them married. He also went to Mumtaz's house to talk about their marriage, but things did not work out. It is said that at that time, Mumtaz's career had reached its peak, due to which her family was not ready to get them married.
Post the breakup, Yash went to Delhi to appear for an exam where he met Pamela, and that's when their story started. The duo eventually fell in love and got married.

Karan Johar says he hasn't yet told his kids about surrogacy: 'I hope and pray they have the emotional understanding to accept it...'
Karan Johar discusses his journey as a single parent to twins Yash and Roohi. He conceived them via surrogacy in 2017. He shares his initial explanation to his children about their birth. He plans to have an honest conversation with them about surrogacy soon. Parenthood has changed his life, shifting his focus from social events to family. Karan Johar may be one of Bollywood's biggest names, but at home, he's just a dad to his twins, Yash and Roohi. In a heartfelt conversation, he opened up about becoming a single parent through surrogacy, the questions his kids are starting to ask, and the honest talks he knows are coming soon. A proud decision He became a father via surrogacy in 2017—a decision he has always embraced openly. However, he admits it comes with its own emotional milestones, especially as he prepares for the day he'll have to explain it to his children. A poetic beginning On the podcast Soul Safar with Bhaav, the director shared how he initially introduced the idea of their birth to his twins. He recalled telling them they came from 'Dada's heart,' a poetic explanation that satisfied them for a while. However, as his daughter grew older and began understanding basic biology, she pointed out that babies have to come from someone's stomach—but didn't press further. Karan added that from a young age, Yash and Roohi have called his mother 'mumma,' though they're aware she's actually their grandmother. Now eight years old, he said the 'big, solid chat' about surrogacy hasn't happened yet, but he believes they have some understanding and aren't entirely unaware. The big talk That 'big, solid chat,' as Karan puts it, is on the horizon—and when the time comes, he's prepared to face it with honesty, openness, and pride in the journey that made him a father. He shared that the day for that honest conversation is approaching, and he plans to meet it with complete transparency. He intends to explain the process to his children, emphasizing that he's immensely proud of his decision. 'It's not like they've been denied love,' he said, adding that he and his mother have given Yash and Roohi the kind of love a couple would. His hope is that, when the time comes, they'll have the emotional maturity to understand and embrace their story without carrying any sense of baggage. A changed man Parenthood has profoundly reshaped Johar's outlook on life. Once known as the life of every Bollywood party, he now finds his greatest joy and purpose at home. Reflecting on the shift, Karan admitted he spent years trying to impress others and shine in social circles—only to realise that the real celebration was always with his children.
