“Three days a week I go to the hospital for dialysis. But then I have four days to myself, which I enjoy.” Such a statement — full of life — comes, not surprisingly, from Shammi Kapoor, India’s original dancing superstar. “I love driving. I often go on long drives, at times even to Lonavala for coffee,” says the former actor Shammi Kapoor.
Kapoor’s voice still retains its youthfulness. So does his spirit. But the actor confesses that such positive thinking has not always been in his character. “Life teaches you many things. It’s only after my illness that I have come to enjoy life to the fullest,” says the actor. His lively attitude is obvious as he speaks about the web link Shammi Kapoor Unplugged. Every Monday, it posts three-minute episodes, produced by Rajshri Media, in which the actor talks about his life and shares anecdotes.
