Shammi Kapoor has been the heartthrob of his times. Giving us classics like ‘Junglee’ and ‘Brahmachari’, he has been one of the finest actors that Bollywood has ever seen.
Shammi Kapoor starred in over 50 movies as a lead and more than 20 movies as a supporting actor. He won the Filmfare for Best Actor for the movie ‘Brahmachari’ in 1969.
He was most famous for his dancing moves and was known as India’s Elvis Presley! Due to chronic renal failure, he passed away 14 August 2011 but remains alive in our memories.
