Shammi Kapoor, the scion of the renowned actor Prithviraj Kapoor and a member of the prestigious first family of Indian cinema, the Kapoors, joined the family business in 1953. His tall frame and light eyes had the women swooning over him in his first few films as a hero. He married the celebrated beauty and actress, Geeta Bali. After his marriage, he re-invented himself as a rebel in 1957's 'TUMSA NAHIN DEKHA.' He would excel in this type of role in classic such as 'DIL DEKE DEKHO' and 'JUNGLEE.' Even today, when fans hear 'Yahoo! Chahe Koi Mujhe Junglee Kahe,' they can visual the actor tumbling down the ice-capped hills. His super-star status was only reinforced with successes such as 'TEESRI MANZIL, 'RAAJKUMAR,' 'AN EVENING IN PARIS,' 'ANDAAZ,' and others. He won the Filmfare Award for Best Actor for his sensitive portrayal of a bachelor who brings happiness to the life of orphans. Geeta Bali passed away due to an illness. He later married Neela Devi, the woman who he credits to being a beacon of serenity in his life. He has two children, a son and a daughter.
