Interview with Shashi Kapoor | Cinema | Archives 

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

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.

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!

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

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.

Itna lovable aur handsome hero aajtak Nahi dekha

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.

Shashi Kapoor was always a gentleman and very humble.

One of the most handsome person in the Indian film industry. Miss you shashi kapoor.you will always remain in our heart.....

He was too good for bollywood. He was a great actor... He needed to do more artist roles. Especially with Hollywood

I used to try his dancing style in childhood. His performance in 'Kalyug' was mind blowing. He deserved to win best actor award for that movie. A must watch for Shashi Kapoor fans.

How well and how eloquently these older actors speak. Our current generation doesn't know and doesn't need this art of language.

Shabana Azmi once said .if beautiful is used as a term for a man..it has to be Shashikapoor.So charming...sweet....innocence and radiance in his every body language. And the smile is million dollar....My favourite among all kapoors!

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

I remember those days of my childhood when my father was called 'Shashi kapoor', his resemblance surprised all his family members, friends, acquaintances etc. and they were right. He talked like my father, his gestures, smile everything. Though i lost him in my childhood but i love both, him and Shashi kapoor.

A class actor A class human being A handsome person great human being shashi kapoor we miss you

What a wonderful man highly down to earth

What a lovely, lovely man! RIP mr. Romeo❤️

OMG! Shashi used the Urdu word "mutashakkir". Nowadays Indians are stuck saying "fir" and "Jindagi". What a change (for worse). RIP Shashi. Met him once in early 80s. So so handsome

My first heero. Best actor, best human being, best husband ND best father. And most handsome. I grew up to watching his movies. May he rest in peace.🤲😭 Very respect nd love❤️ from Pakistan. 🇵🇰

He has child like enthusiasm that's really infectious.

Shashi Kapoor ji ek handsome aur gentleman aur great actor the aur hamesha rahenge I love you and miss you this great actor

I think he is finest example of a great humble man he hasvery positive vibes

Shashi kapoor was most versatile actor of hindi cinema. His late 70s and 80s parallel cinema movie was superb. Like kalyug, junoon , 36 chaurangi lane etc.

I miss you soooooooooooooo much Shashi Kapoor sir 🙏🙏

What a personality, what a man. The great Shashiji. Miss you.

*Now I am 68, but Mr. Shashi Kapoor has been my all time favourite since my young age. He 'is' the only great actor who is known for his excellent performances in Hindi as well as in English movies.*

Most handsome actor of our Bollywood. Late Shashi Kapoor Sahab..

Thankyou for uploading this gem, so great to see this fantastic evergreen actor who I grew up watching, so many great films, so many classic songs and performances. The man with the million dollar smile, he'll always be that evergreen star of Indian Cinema. So sad he's no longer with us but his films will continue to be shown and enjoyed by the masses. RIP Shashi ji, I hope you've been reunited with your soul mate whom you missed so dearly, THANKYOU SIR for all those great memories, you were one in a million.

Enjoyed this interview so very much..very interesting!!! The best two great legends ever shashi kapoor and Tabassum jee!!

Charming, suave, under stated, sweet.... love you Shashi ji....

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.

The most handsome actor or artist of the Kapoor family.

My favorit aktor Shashi Kapoor❤❤❤❤

The most successful artist of the Kapoor clan...……...and surely the most Handsomest..

Junoon....what a movie ! He was such a versatile actor.

Soooooooo handsome,intellectual, intelligent, real artist, fantastic actor and do humble man.....always love to watch his movies..salute

Will my infatuation with this man ever end?

deewar,satyam shivam sundaram. classic movie.history of idian cinema.so charming so loving shashi kapoor.

The most wonderful, loving handsome man.. Shashi Kapoor ji miss u really wanted to meet you once but it is now just a dream ..where ever u are always remain blessed..🙏

ग्रेट एक्टर कोई शब्द नहीं इनकी हस्ती में फिट बैठ सकें

Shashi Kapoor's great acting make him great actor. But interviews make him great and humble person. This is formal interview not flamboyant interviews of today.

Shashiji is so great actor and as he great person . So handsome

❤ Great interview. Shashi ji, you gave my generation some of the best stories on the screen for which we are eternally thankful to you. RIP. तुम्हें न भूल पायेंगे ।

Marked difference in Shashi Ji's demeanour between this interview and the '91 India Today interview (where he refused to answer questions about his late wife). He seems very open and jovial here, reciprocating the bubbly nature of the interviewer. This was diametrically opposite to how stoic and guarded he was in the other interview. Guess the interviewer really does dictate the tone of an interview.

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. A great childhood actor suporting actor hero super hero dramatist great brother husband father & above all a lovely human being. OM Shanti to my childhood hero....

I love Shashi Kapoor

Prithvi raj,raj kapoor,shami kapoor,shashi kapoor I salute u all

A very humble and talented human being

Shashi Kapoor is one of the very few mainstream actor/film industry veteran who was very straight forward and humble as well as commercial successful to good extent. Such a combination is very rare in any film industry
