In a nostalgic moment from the past, an old video clip of the late Pakistani politician and former Prime Minister, Benazir Bhutto, is making rounds on the internet. The clip is from an interview with Indian actor, director, and host Simi Garewal on her chat show, where Benazir candidly expressed her admiration for the 1976 Indian film Kabhie Kabhie<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Taking to her IG handle, Simi posted the brief clip in which Benazir shared her experience with Indian cinema, saying, “Kabhie Kabhie<\/em> was the first Indian movie that I saw at a time when Indian movies weren\u2019t allowed into Pakistan and they\u2019d be sort of smuggled into those three big fat cassettes.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Relaying her adoration for the blockbuster film, she remarked, \u201cI thought it was so marvelous, and I thought that the actor – I didn\u2019t know any of the names of the actors in it – I thought the actor was so good, so excellent.\u201d Among its many commendable features, Benazir shortlisted one in particular – the acting performance by a lead actor.<\/p>\n

\u201cI would tell everybody else that he was so fantastic and they\u2019d all go \u2018Amitabh Bachchan\u2019 but it was Shashi Kapoor,\u201d she revealed how people readily assumed that she was all praises for Amitabh Bachchan when it was Shashi Kapoor\u2019s performance that completely swayed her.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Shashi, the youngest son of Hindi film and theatre pioneer Prithviraj Kapoor, passed away in Mumbai in 2017 after prolonged illness. \u201cYes, he has passed away. He had kidney problems for several years,” shared Randhir Kapoor with the Press Trust of India news agency.<\/p>\n

A seasoned actor in the game since childhood, Shashi\u2019s illustrious career spanned over 150 Bollywood and English language films, solidifying his status as a matinee idol. From his debut in Dharmputra <\/em>in 1961 to iconic roles in films like Jab Jab Phool Khile, Kabhie Kabhie, Silsila<\/em> and Do Aur Do Paanch<\/em>, he left an indelible mark on Indian cinema.<\/p>\n
