Yash Chopra, who turned 80 on Thursday, talked about his journey in the show business with superstar Shah Rukh Khan in a heart-to-heart televised chat.

Chopra said his family wanted him to become an engineer but he knew he wanted to direct films.

“My mother said do what your heart says. She gave me Rs.200 and said my blessings are with you. Go ahead and don’t worry,” recalled Chopra, who is about to release a new film, “Jab Tak Hai Jaan”, starring Shah Rukh, in November.

Shah Rukh, who was the interviewer, made Yash Chopra sing: “Oh meri zohra jabin…” from his 1965 film, “Waqt”.
