Late director Yash Chopra has been honoured with a special statue by the Switzerland government this year. With most of his romantic dramas shot in the lush mountains of the Alps, he played quite a hand in the increasing the number of Asian tourists flocking to Switzerland. Installed at the heart of Interlaken, beside the Kursaal area, near Congress centre, a bronze statue weighing 250 kilo of the late filmmaker was inaugurated recently by his wife Pamela and Daughter-in-law Rani Mukerjee. The event was attended by ministers and senior bureaucrats from the Swiss government.
