Tribute to Shammi Kapoor

Shammi Kapoor's son-in-law Ketan Desai said, "He led a full life and I would say (was) a source of inspiration to many people, family members. All patients took a lot of energy and inspiration from him. Was a fighter till the end. Translated into his work. Brought a lot of energy on the screen. Led a good life."

"His spirit never died. Had positive energy. Never see his face morose. Never showed he was in pain. Smiling, full of life. That sums it all," he added.
 

Amitabh Bachchan on Twitter said, 'the flamboyance and joie de vivre of the industry lost. Entire life full of optimism and happy spirit, caring loving to all. Now suddenly silent'.

When Ranbir looks Bengali/Shooting of Barfee begins in Kolkata

On Tuesday morning, Priyanka wrote on in her micro blogging site: "Shooting barfee full on now..in kolkatta.. love this city.. have great memories here..gonna OD on fish curry n roshogulas .

I don’t really remember meeting Shammi uncle during my childhood… perhaps he didn’t leave the house much because of his health, but whatever the case, the first time I clearly remember meeting him was at my grandfather’s funeral. 

Shammi uncle was one of the first people to arrive, and he stayed for a very long time. I remember being very moved by that.

In his last few years, my grandfather wasn't much of a storyteller, so I never got to hear about his friendship with Shammiji. I heard more stories from my mother, and later from the man himself. He told me about how they were forced to work together for their first film, Tumsa Nahin Dekha. Imran Khan
 

Amitabh Bachchan, who was friends with deceased Shammi Kapoor and was seen teary-eyed at his funeral, tweets sombre thoughts remembering the actor.

"Miss a birthday, a wedding, but never a funeral, an advice given by a friend. Seeing the turnout at Shammi ji's confirmed my opinion," the megastar tweeted. 

"It is an irony of life that one person is able to collect an entire industry only when he is not there to notice it!" the star observed. 

"Jodi tor dak shune kayu na aashe tobe ekla chalo re..!! When no one hears your call, walk alone.. Gurudev Tagore," the star signed off with the tweet. 
Shammi Kapoor...life...
