Amit ji‘s heartening blog for late Shashi Kapoor, To Shashiji from your `babbua`

New Delhi [India], Dec 5 (NT): Bollywood superstar Amitabh Bachchan has high lightered a deepest post for late actor Shashi Kapoor, with whom Big B created a great and successful deal on-screen partnership especially in movies like Deewar and Suhag.

Shashi Kapoor, one of the outstanding personas in Indian film industry, met with angles on Monday at the age of 79.

Big B shared the link of his blog on Twitter as he wrote, "T 2731 - To Shashji from your 'babbua' .. !! https://tmblr.co/ZwrX5v2SfFrfd "

Big B, in his post, remembered the day when he first noticed Shashi Kapoor's picture on a magazine.

"Standing elegantly without a care in the world, I saw him standing by a Mercedes Sports car, a convertible, a smart trimmed beard and moustache, adorning involuntarily, the face of this incredibly handsome man. It was a picture that filled almost an entire page of a magazine. Shashi Kapoor . son of Prithviraj Kapoor, younger brother to Raj Kapoor and Shammi Kapoor, making a debut in a forthcoming film, is what the caption read. And I said to myself, as very uncertain thoughts raced through my mind of wanting to become a film actor, that, with men like him around, I stood no chance at all," Amitabh ji wrote.

Amit ji opened that Shashi Kapoor had someplace 'let himself go' after the death of his wife Jennifer Kendal.

Big B ‘s blog further read "He had been ailing .. somewhere he had let himself go after the passing away of his dear wife Jennifer .. I had visited him on occasion in Hospital during some of the times he had been hospitalised earlier .. but I never went to see him again .. I would never have .. I never ever wanted to see this beautiful friend and 'samdhi' in the state I saw him in hospital .... and I did not today, when they informed me that he had gone ."

Amit ji ended the blog with heartbreaking note, saying, "He fondly addressed me as 'babbua' .. and with him have gone many incredible unread chapters of his and my life."

Amit ji and Shashi Kapoor shared a silver screen many times as acted in blockbusters including 'Deewar' (1975), ‘Suhag (1979)’, ' Kabhi Kabhie' (1976), 'Trishul' (1978) and 'Namak Halaal' (1982). (NT)
