Reportedly, Pamela Chopra was admitted to Mumbai's Lilavati hospital for the past 15 days. She was put on ventilator by the doctors after her health deteriorated. Pamela was living with her son Aditya Chopra and his wife, actor Rani Mukerji. "She passed away today early morning due to pneumonia with ARDS (acute respiratory distress syndrome). She had been admitted to the hospital for 15 days in the ICU," Dr Prahlad Prabhudesai told PTI. Yash Raj Films took to their social media handle and revealed the sad news. They also confirmed that the cremation took place on Thursday morning at 11 am. She was last seen in the Netflix documentary 'The Romantics' for which she faced the camera to talk about her bond with her late husband Yash Chopra and their studios YRF.
Pamela Chopra and Yash Chopra had tied the knot in 1970. Pamela was a playback singer and sang for several movies including 'Kabhie Kabhie', 'Mujhse Dosti Karoge' and others. She also co-wrote the script of 'Dil To Pagal Hai' along with Yash Chopra, Aditya Chopra and writer Tanuja Chandra. Pamela also appeared onscreen in the opening song 'Ek Duje Ke Vaaste' of the film 'Dil To Pagal Hai'. Pamela was loved and respected by many in the industry and was lovingly referred to as Pam aunty by many young artists including Shah Rukh Khan and Karan Johar.
Meanwhile, Yash Chopra passed away in 2012. His last film 'Jab Tak Hai Jaan' was released in the same year.
