Today, in honour of his birthday, we're sharing stories about him with you. shammi kapoor was the best actor and dancer of his generation. This versatile actor of hindi film celebrates his birthday today. Even though shammi kapoor is no longer with us, her dancing is still remembered.

 Shammi Kapoor was born on october 21, 1931, in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India. shammi Kapoor's entire family has worked in the film industry. Whether it's his father, prithviraj Kapoor, or his younger siblings, Ranbir Kapoor, Kareena Kapoor, and Karisma Kapoor. His family is commonly referred to as the Kapoors.


Hearing 'Bhai Raj's copying' used to upset Shammi. shammi kapoor was compared to his brother raj kapoor when he first entered the film industry. He's been accused of imitating his brother raj Kapoor. This was a period in his career when he was not having much success in the movies. Simultaneously, as he became more popular, people stopped teasing him. 

He returned home one day, depressed, and informed his father, Prithviraj, that he would no longer be attending college. prithviraj was not enraged by Shammi's situation; instead, he hired him to work in his theatre. He worked as a labourer, much like the other employees. His remuneration was Rs 50. 


Shammi's father, prithviraj Kapoor, and brother, raj kapoor, were both well-known actors. However, he was denied the benefits of his father's and brother's prominent names. As a junior artist, he began his cinema career. He used to be paid Rs 150 per month as a junior artist. 


Geeta Bali has a lot of lipstick on her wish list. shammi kapoor and Geeta Bali met on the set of the film 'Coffee House.' Following that, they collaborated on the film 'Rangeen Raatein.' During the shoot, shammi kapoor developed feelings for Geeta. 

He proposed to Geeta Bali and she accepted. Geeta, on the other hand, was adamant. Let's get married after this one day, Geeta suggested. Both went to the temple, where the pandit dutifully wedded them. However, he lacked Sindhur to fill her Mang. The lipstick replaced Sindhur from Geeta's bag and shammi fulfilled Geeta's request.


Shammi warned Geeta one day that if his film 'Tumsa Nahi Dekha' did not succeed, he would leave the industry. Geeta looked after him at the time and told him that one day he will be a huge star. shammi, on the other hand, was in luck this time. His film was a smash hit, and many more of his flicks followed suit, all of which performed admirably on screen. 


Shweta, Amitabh's daughter, was the one who first introduced him to the computer. He formed the 'Internet Users Community of India' because he was so passionate about computers and the Internet. He was also in charge of the Kapoor family's website. 


When Geeta Bali died of sickness at the age of 34, he was profoundly broken. His movie career was also on the decline. He married Neela Devi after that. shammi kapoor passed away on august 14, 2011, at Breach Candy Hospital in Mumbai, amid this life's dilemma.
