ABOUT Shashi Kapoor
Shashi Kapoor: A Legacy in Indian Cinema Shashi Kapoor, a prominent figure in Hindi cinema and a member of the illustrious Kapoor family, left an indelible mark on the industry. His career, spanning several decades, showcased versatility and remarkable range. He began as a child actor in Raj Kapoor's Aag (1948), later transitioning to adult roles, solidifying his position with the 1965 blockbusters Waqt and Jab Jab Phool Khile. While his career saw periods of fluctuating success, films like Kanyadaan, Sharmeelee, and Aa Gale Lag Jaa stood out. A resurgence in the 1970s with Chor Machaye Shor cemented his status as a leading star, featuring in numerous box-office successes like Roti Kapada Aur Makaan, Deewaar, Kabhi Kabhie, Trishul, and Namak Halaal. Kapoor's critical acclaim came from his powerful portrayals in films such as Junoon, Kalyug, Vijeta, and New Delhi Times, the latter earning him a National Film Award for Best Actor. His contributions to Indian cinema were recognized with the Padma Bhushan (2011) and the Dadasaheb Phalke Award (2014). His final film, Ghar Bazar, was released in 1998. Beyond Hindi cinema, Kapoor also acted in several international productions with Merchant Ivory. His legacy remains a testament to his talent and enduring contribution to Indian film.
