Shashi Kapoor, who was 79 died due to a prolonged illness.
In his career span of nearly four decades, he has acted in some amazing films. Shashi Kapoor has acted as a child actor in several Hindi films. The talented actor has acted in more than 110 films.
He was also honoured with the Padma Bhushan by the Government of India, Dadasaheb Phalke Award and three National Film Awards.
When Shashi Kapoor was given the Dadasaheb Phalke Award, in an interview, Ranbir had stated, "We are extremely proud that now we have three Phalke winners in our family — Prithviraj Kapoor, my grandfather Raj Kapoor and now Shashi Kapoor. With Shashi dadaji getting it a couple of days back at the Prithvi theatre, we had a lovely gathering where all his actresses and friends came to celebrate him and it was lovely to see the audio-visual of the work that he had done."
He had further added, "We often forget what the yesteryear actors and filmmakers have done and it just warms my heart to see his contribution… When I was giving the voiceover and watching the video, I realised the value of Shashi. He did commercial films, independent films and international films. He encouraged the theatre culture in India."
Shashi Kapoor's late father and veteran actor Prithviraj Kapoor had founded Prithvi Theatres in 1942 which was a travelling troupe. Shashi ji had toured with the troupe and acted in Prithviraj Kapoor's plays.
Prithviraj Kapoor had the dream to have a permanent place for his theatre group and even acquired a property in Juhu. However, he could not fulfil it as he died in 1972. However, Shashi ji and his late wife Jennifer Kapoor saw to it that his father's wish would indeed come true and that is how the famous Prithvi theatre was born.
Shashi Kapoor's death is a huge loss to the industry.
