It's a known fact that Yash Chopra has a long fascination with Switzerland. After all, many of his superhit films have been shot in the picturesque locales of Switzerland. At an event held last week in Interlaken, Yash Chopra was honoured with the title of 'Ambassador of Interlaken' making him the first recipient of this prestigious award. A silver plaque was also dedicated to him which will be placed in Interlaken along the Hoheweg - Interlaken's famous main street. Hosted by the Mayor of Interlaken, Urs Graf, the impressive function took place at the Victoria Jungfrau Grand Hotel & Spa amidst leading Swiss politicians and industrialists along with selected Indian and Swiss media. This honour for Yash Chopra had been announced on October 25, 2010 in New Delhi by the Swiss Embassy during which Mr. Chopra was also bestowed with the 'Swiss Ambassador's Award.'
