Shashi Kapoor
With those good looks and rakish smile, he was the stuff of teen crushes that evolved into wistful nostalgia as the years rolled by.
Shashi Kapoor, 79, when he passed away in Mumbai after a prolonged illness today, will be remembered for his many commercial films, his commitment to quality cinema when he turned filmmaker but also as the man who embodied ageless elegance.
"He was god's good man. He was such a beautiful human being beyond anything else," director Shyam Benegal, who worked with the late actor in "Kalyug" and "Junoon", said.
