Neetu Kapoor took Instagram to share a throwback pic of her uncle-in-law Shashi Kapoor with his father Prithviraj Kapoor. Shashi Kapoor, who was one of the finest and most talented film personalities, breathed his last Monday evening at Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital here. Fans, friends and well-wishers overwhelmed social media with solace messages to the family that has been grief over the irreplaceable loss. Neetu went to a flashback and cherished memory of Shashi Kapoor as a child by sharing an iconic photograph of the actor with his father and Kapoor patriarch Prithviraj Kapoor.

The picture is obviously a look from a play titled 'Shakuntala'. Neetu is Shashi’s brother Raj Kapoor’s daughter-in-law. Interestingly, Neetu had been paired with her then uncle-in-law to be on screen almost three and a half decades ago. The Kapoors have always been a cohesive unit and have been with each other through thick and thin. Shashi Kapoor, who passed away at the age of 79, was coiled in the tricolour and given a three-gun salute by the police for his last rites at the state funeral held at the Santacruz Hindu Crematorium on Tuesday in his last rituals.
