Shashi Kapoor- A man and a maestro of Indian cinema

A blue eyed boy of Indian cinema ,Shashi Kapoor enthralled the Indian and western audiences with his lop sided smiles and clean cut ebullient dialogues well over a past four decades.He though could be considered diminutive in standing as with the number of one man hits in cinema but his charm carved a niche for him as  a Hindi actor versed with western mannerisms like in his films HOUSEHOLDER,HEAT AND DUST ,SIDDHARTHA.Playing the soldier of truth in DEWAAR, shashi delivers one of the most memorable lines of Indian cinema “Mere paas maa hai”.A maestro indeed he is.
