Kareena - Saif Pay a Visit to Shashi Kapoor - Page 2

Saif is a huge Shashi Kapoor fanboy. I don't know if anyone's aware of this incident. So sharing it here 😆


Saif Ali Khan, when he was just two years old, bit a villain who was attacking Shashi Kapoor in a scene during the shooting of 'Paap Aur Punya' thinking his 'Shashi uncle' was in huge danger. This and several other snippets related to veteran actor find mention in a book 'Shashi Kapoor: The Householder, The Star', written by Aseem Chhabra and published by Rupa Publications.

The author quotes Sharmila Tagore as telling him: "Shashi and I were in Jaipur for 'Paap Aur Punya'. My son, Saif, who was just two years old, was with me, as were Shashi's wife and kids. The Kapoors would take my son around, and Shashi, I imagine, spent time playing with him - because soon, Saif grew quite attached to 'Shashi Uncle'.

"One day, Shashi happened to be shooting a scene where a villain put a noose around his neck, while he yanked at the rope and struggled quite desperately. Suddenly, the villain, who was in complete command of the scene, screamed! Unknown to him, Saif had crawled up and bitten him on the leg! You see, Saif thought that his Shashi Uncle was being beaten up, was in huge danger, and nobody was helping him. He had to act! Shashi Uncle was really his favourite."

Try telling it to older generation in India. Things are slowly changing. I see there is much more awareness that dad need to help.

The women in my family do actually. I live in India & despite how well-educated/econmincallt advanced the people are, ESP women, most do express varying levels of surprise & it really makes me 😡 !!! It's completely different abroad, yes, but what always always always gets my goat is when women express surprise. This is what conditioning & patriarchy do to you & we always make it a point to get across this message, everyone from my brother-in-law to cousins find it most disgusting & downright odd!!!

Awww the article is the most adorable thing ever!!! As MM said, life has completely come a full-circle with Saifooo, the adorable protective little one, turning into a proper Kapoor & today decades later, coming with his Kapoor wife to meet his Shashi uncle. <3 <3 <3
