Moment you hear him speak, you can make out how grounded, well mannered and genuine person he is.

Such a handsome man, with emphatic, emotive voice. Shashi ji was born to be a film hero!

Perhaps he was the most handsome Kapoor. His contribution, his understand of cinema is unmatchable. He was the true torch bearer of his father's legacy.

U see shammi kapoor

[@rajeshkb5159]

One of the most handsome and modest actor Indian film industry has ever seen. Loved to listen to Shashi saheb.

[@WAP1FM2]

What a great star Mr. Shashi Kapoor is, such a wonderful way to present oneself in an interview...so much to learn from him...We miss you Shashiji...

[@vidhusekharan2598]

Shashi Kapoor is the ultimate hero, the pride of India. The prince among stars and superstars. There can never be a star like him for s ten thousand years. The whole world was enchanting by his awesome personality.

[@YasmeenQ]

Out of the 3 kapoor brothers, i loved him the most. His attitude was better than the other 2.

[@shikhab2250]

Raj kapoor sucked the way he exploited his heroines shashi was a rare gem 😊

[@dev4911]

The most intellectual of all Kapoors, also the most international. He acted in a number of British productions, and was closely associated with the Kendalls in their theatre productions. Also he produced some really interesting and meaningful films such as Junoon, 36 Chowringhee Lane, Kalyug, and Utsav. He once said in an interview that he acted in commercial films so that he could earn enough money to produce serious films. He was very different from the rest of the Kapoors. In fact, he was much like Prithviraj Kapoor in his love for the theatre. He was not loud and boisterous like the other Kapoors. He was introspective, soft-spoken and a well-read man. He had absolutely no arrogance and was always well-mannered. He was a disciple of serious cinema and admired Chaplin and Ingmar Bergman. If today anyone asks Kareena Kapoor about Ingmar Bergman, she will be like "Ingmar who?" I wish Kareena had inherited some of Shashi Kapoor's genes.

[@ГуляАлеева-ж3х]

Это не возможно,Карина не особо интеллектуальная,это мое мнение,а у ШАШИ дети очень одаренные,хотя не пошли в актеры,им передалось от отца много качеств, единственное что не передалось это красота, ШАШИ был внешне и внутренне красив,он для меня икона мужчины,жаль что нет перевода ,а хинди я незнаю

Shashi Kapoor is a typical Punjabi. Whilst answering questions.. Punjabi words are coming out of his language like @ 3.12..he used the word 'kinne' meaning in Punjabi 'many' and then he quickly changes the word to 'kitne' meaning 'many' in Hindi. A true Punjabi Legend..x

[@Deira854]

Im sorry but average punjabies seem do be very backwards, saying curse words all the time. Shashi and all kapoors are much more classy, so you cant compare them to average punjabies, these people lived a European life, not punjabi

[@sandychopra685]

@@Deira854 ... Cursing is part of the Banta in the language. Watch the movie Kabhi Kabhi and you will see Shashi Kapoor n Rishi Kapoor cursing. As for Punjabis being backwards...I don't think so. They rule the world...reside all over world, famous actors, businessmen and women, even our United Kingdom's Prime Minister is Punjabi ! 😉

[@sandychopra685]

@@Deira854 I am referring to Punjabis...who speak the language, not any Religion. As for certain people from a certain religion misbehaving or causing trouble..you get it in every religion. One can not blame any Religion least not Sikhs who the most hardworking and peaceful lot.

[@Deira854]

@@sandychopra685 you should come live here in Canada, white people want to kick all Indians out, just because Punjabies are involved in so much crime and drugs activity. I think you are talking about Punjabies from before like 20-30 years ago, when they were known as hard workers, today's Punjabi youth is totally messed up

I think, again I think that shashi kapoor is the most handsome and actor in the kapoor family even he exceeds raj kapoor. I found his personality the best without any ego. I can't talk about Prithviraj kapoor because I was not born then, but in Shashi's generation he is the best.

this was when his wife was alive in 1984 he had given many interviews to different channels around the world. because this was the year when he almost retired as heroes in films. soon after few months his wife died & then he started gaining weight as he used to be on heavy drinks food all the time. since his teenage his gf & wife jennifer controlled his lifestyle his eating drinking habits. the best of shashi was the early late 40s early 50s & then 60s 70s then 80s & by late 90s he almost retired especially the last film he ever did in 1998 was Jinnah a British film based on the life of Jinnah.
