I also wanted to share a wonderful video series that's available on YouTube - where you can hear about Shammi and his life adventures in his own words.
As his Wikipedia entry notes, "Tall, athletic, lively, fair complexioned, green-eyed and with handsome features, Shammi was a heartthrob, and his good looks and physique complemented his image" ... and yet he was so much more than that. He was a spiritual, positive person with gratitude for the gift of life -- that's something we can all learn from. I also loved that he was one of the few from his generation that truly embraced the internet age, having set up and managed a website dedicated to the Kapoor Family as well as posting regularly on Twitter. One of his recent tweets stated:
SIGH. Shammi-ji will definitely be missed - but never, ever forgotten!
Shammi was truly one of a kind. Did you know that Yahoo was inspired by his saying? Apparently the founder of Yahoo consulted Shammi... well that's what I heard. He could really put a few actors these days in their place... (Emraan Hashmi stand up!)

He was a live personality and I do not think that in today's era there are any actor that have such kind of quality (though at some level I feel Ranbir Kapoor have such caliber).
ReplyDeleteNow Indian audience like realistic movies and hence movies like PK or Jannat 2 or Murder 2 presents reality to us.
I think Emraan Hashmi is also a dark horse of Bollywood world. Here are my Top 10 of him -
