The passing of Shashi Kapoor is sad. He will be long remembered for his films such as “Junoon”, “Deewar”, “Kabhie Kabhie”, “Trishul” besides his English films, “Shakespeare-Wallah”, “Householder” and “Siddhartha”. One can never forget the beautiful performance by his wife, Jennifer, in “36 Chowringhee Lane”.
I consider myself fortunate enough to have watched one of the plays by the Shakespeareana Company at Lucknow years ago. It was directed by Geoffrey Kendal and the cast included Jennifer, Shashi Kapoor and Utpal Dutt.
In the world of Bollywood, Shashi Kapoor was a rare actor, a thorough gentleman and the perfect family man.

With the passing of Shashi Kapoor, the era of the flamboyant, versatile, romantic hero and the original superstar is over. An ardent film buff and his countless fans can never forget his style of acting which was filled with energy, zeal and enthusiasm.
For him, life was an endless journey.
The memories of his films will never fade away from the hearts of his innumerable fans like me.
