Shashi Kapoor had an aura, a personality that was unlike the Kapoors. He seemed classy, sophisticated, and much more suave than the rest of the clan. That dimpled arched smile of his was extremely captivating. As a kid, watching him being the righteous brother of Amitabh Bachchan in movies like Deewar and Suhaag often warmed our hearts. Even when they were thieves in Do Aur Do Paanch, we were smitten. At times, we would miss him if he didn't pair up with AB. His comical side was rarely tapped. And then we watched him in movies like The Householder, Kalyug and more and were charmed. We always felt that his smile could make every day a great day!
