#shammi kapoor

[bollywoodirect]

Remembering the legendary #ShammiKapoor on his 93rd birth anniversary (21/10). Born Shamsher Raj Kapoor, he became a Bollywood icon known for his energetic performances and unique style. His early career faced challenges, but he rose to fame with Tumsa Nahi Dekha (1957) and Junglee (1961), establishing himself as a leading star and dancer in Hindi cinema.

Kapoor's success continued throughout the 1960s with popular films like Kashmir Ki Kali, Teesri Manzil, and Brahmachari, which won him a Filmfare Award for Best Actor. In the 1970s, he transitioned to supporting roles in movies like Vidhaata and Prem Rog. His final film appearance was in Rockstar (2011), marking the end of a career that spanned over five decades and included more than 100 films.

Known for his stylish persona and signature dance moves, Shammi Kapoor earned the nickname "Yahoo Star," and his influence in Bollywood is often compared to that of Elvis Presley. He was featured in Box Office India’s top actors list and recognized as one of the most stylish figures in Indian cinema.

Kapoor's personal life saw him marrying actress Geeta Bali in 1955. After her death, he married Neila Devi in 1969. He passed away in 2011 at the age of 79 due to kidney failure, but his legacy as one of Bollywood’s most beloved and iconic stars endures.

yunhi koi mil gaya tha yunhi koi mil gaya tha

यूँ ही कोई मिल गया था यूँ ही कोई मिल गया था

i met someone by chance

sare-raah chalte chalte sare-raah chalte chalte

सर ए राह चलते चलते सर ए राह चलते चलते

while walking,walking around the path

wahin tham ke reh gayi hai wahin tham ke reh gayi hai

वहीं थम के रह गई है वहीं थम के रह गई है

right there it stood still

meri raat dhalte dhalte meri raat dhalte dhalte

मेरी रात ढलते ढलते मेरी रात ढलते ढलते

this night of mine,which was about to fade away
