"Pal do pal ka saath humara, pal do pal ke yarane hain." This was the sentiment echoed on Twitter after hearing about the demise of the critically-acclaimed filmmaker Ravi Chopra. Son of filmmaker BR Chopra and nephew of Yash Chopra, Ravi passed away on a cool Wednesday afternoon after a long battle with lung cancer. The director of popular films such as 'Zameer' (1975), 'The Burning Train' (1980), 'Mazdoor' (1983), 'Dahleez' (1986), 'Baghban' (2003) and 'Baabul' (2006), was 68 years old.
Twitter was understandably flooded with reactions to the great filmmaker's death:
