Mumbai, June 19 || Veteran star Zeenat Aman has reminisced about her schoolgirl crush on Shashi Kapoor, which later turned into a cherished professional relationship.
Zeenat shared a moment from her 1978 film “Satyam Shivam Sundaram”, where she starred alongside the late iconic star.
She wrote in the caption: With those twinkling eyes and handsome features, Shashi Kapoor was every Indian schoolgirl’s fantasy! Myself included.”
“The first time I saw him, I was still in boarding school. He came to Panchgani with the members of the Shakespearean theatre company (including his future wife Jennifer) to perform Shakespeare! And my goodness, he had the girls in a swoon.”
The actress said that to catch a glimpse of Shashi Kapoor in the evening, she along with her friends would convince their parents that they needed fresh air.
“As my luck would have it, Shashi was a South Bombay resident and lived not too far down the road from me. Now neighbours talk, and word soon got around that “THE” Shashi Kapoor had the daily habit of an evening perambulation at 6pm on the dot.”
