To keep up with evolving audiences, he adapted new trends in each era and made most glamorous and trendy romances.
Like others, he too went through a bad patch after two of his films - "Faasle" (1985) and "Vijay" (1988) - bombed one after the other at the box office. But after facing the setbacks, Chopra triumphed again at the box office with "Chandni".
"When I was making 'Vijay', I was making films just to be successful and not from my heart and I knew I was making the wrong kind of films. I decided to make a hardcore romantic film with nine songs and this is how I thought of 'Chandni' (1989)," he had said in an interview once.
