Shashi is one of the few celebrities I have loved completely. Something about him that makes him come off as genuine and charming.

Off topic: when I first watched a few of Ranbir's films, I got the same vibes from him. Though I don't find him as handsome I know he can act very well and loves to do so. But of course, personal life became off-putting for me.

Until now Shashi Kapoor remains the only actor to have refused a National Award for "Dharam Putra" in 1961. He answers, "I did not consider my performance worth an award. I did receive the National Award for "New Delhi Times" in 1986.

we live in times when actors buy awards for recognition and this man refused national award because he did not consider his performance worthy of an award! Respect! 👏👏👏👏👏 it is not something many people have the courage to turn down!!

this is a great topic TM! shashi kapoor is an inspiring man who lives by his own principles
