Shashi Kapoor

A shining example

Shashi Kapoor is the illustrious Indian actor whose roots are paradoxically rooted in Shakespeare.He has been a co-star of Amitabh Bachcahan's in 13 blockbuster films. What is more surprising is that he was and is undaunted and undiminished by his fellow actor's presence. Kapoor brought a new realism to the cinema by producing his own films with his talented wife Jennifer who was also his muse in every way. Kapoor has managed to carry on his father's legacy with the continuation of the Prithvi Theater in India. He has also collaborated and acted in the legendary films like Heat and Dust of Merchant Ivory. Today a grandfather of three, he assists with his his charity work cancer patients in transition. Shashi Kapoor is a Lovemark because he is still a shining example of of how to be distinctive but still maintain a championing humility.
