Not just Amitabh Bachchan wrote an emotional tribute to his 'beautiful friend' and humble actor Shashi Kapoor even author Shobhaa De revealed that she owes her career to him. She also named him the 'well behaved' son of PrithiviRaj Kapoor. Born in a family of actors, Shashi carved his own niche and was quite unlike his brothers Raj Kapoor and Shammi Kapoor. Shobhaa De wrote for Mid-day, "Shashi was the 'well-behaved' Kapoor. More a 'sahib' than a flamboyant movie star. Unlike the wild and wonderful Shammi Kapoor, or the passionate Raj Kapoor, Shashi's refinement and sophistication marked him out from the rest of his rambunctious family. Whether these were innate qualities, or acquired after his marriage to Jennifer, they remained with him till the very end. Shashi Kapoor leaves his fans with wonderful memories of a life well lived, and a career that inspired. As for me, the crush can never die! I remained an ardent fan. Farewell, dear Shashi Kapoor. Smile your lop-sided smile for the angels — and break their hearts!"
In a long illustrious career, Shashi Kapoor not only won hearts of millions of fans but even respect of the film world. De wrote, "He acted in over 175 films, and was trusted implicitly by the film industry, to deliver what was expected of him, regardless of the mediocre content he was stuck with. I don't know of a single person who had a bad word for Shashi Kapoor. His superbly timed delivery of that iconic line, "Mere paas ma hai" in Deewar, ensured his permanent place in the star-studded Bollywood pantheon of greats."
