The day I met Shammiji- 4yrs ago in Malaysia I saw him at d AirPort. I kept looking at him n turning my face away not knowing how 2 approach him & introduce myself. I kept walkng ahead till I caught shammijis eyes n he politely waved at me n asked me 2 come 2 him & said - 'HI I'M SHAMMI KAPOOR, ive bn WANTING 2 SAY HELLO 2 U'-(such was the greatness of the man)- I was totally embarrassed & I just touched his feet-couldnt get d words out of my head- My Hero- My Superstar had said hello 2 me-That was the only time I met him. Today is a very sad day. He will always live in our hearts. Love u sir.

aaj shammi kapoor ji ke nidhan ki dukkhaadh vaarta sunkar mujhe bhot dukh hua,hamare film industry ke wo bhaot bade star the,per uuse bhi bade wo ek insan the,bahot zinda dil,aur himmat wale,wo kisi bhi mushkil ka samana badi himmat se karte the,kafi saalon se wo dialysis pe the, hafte mein 3 baar dialysis unhe lena padta tha, par phir bhi wo haste muskurate rehete the,functions me bhi jate the,jab hum logone unhe mere pitaji ke naam ka award diya tha, tab wo puna aaye the, jab dialysis nahi hota tab wo khud drive bhi karte the,wo bahot acche gayak the, unhone sangeet sikha hua tha,mujhe wo behen kehete the, mujhe unke jaane ka bahot bahot dukh hai,ishwar unki aatma ko shanti de......
