Some childhood memories sometimes touch the heart. Today, we are going to tell you about such a superstar of the Kapoor family, whose mother wanted to kill him in the womb itself. At that time, she had made up her mind not to give birth to the child growing in the womb. Many times she deliberately made such heart-wrenching attempts so that her child would fall, but little did she know that later this child would become a big superstar of Hindi cinema.
The oldest family of Bollywood is the Kapoor family, which has given many superstars to Hindi cinema. The Kapoor family has been ruling the industry for many generations till now, but today we are going to tell you about one such lamp of this family, whose mother wanted to kill him in the womb, for which she had hatched such a conspiracy that it will make your heart tremble. But something else was written in the fate of that son and later on he became a big superstar of Hindi cinema.
We are talking about none other than Shashi Kapoor, who started his career as a child artist in 1948 with his brother Raj Kapoor's film 'Aag'. He was born on March 18, 1938. He was the youngest son of Prithviraj Kapoor and Ramsarni Kapoor. His two elder brothers, Raj Kapoor and Shammi Kapoor were also well-known faces of Hindi cinema. He also had a sister Urmila Siyal. Before Shashi, his parents had lost two sons. After that grief, Urmila was born.
Everyone in the family was very happy with the birth of Urmila and they felt that now the family is complete. Shashi Kapoor himself told in one of his interviews why his mother used to call him 'Fluky'? He told that his parents did not want another child, especially a boy. They wanted a daughter in the house and when they had a daughter, their wish was fulfilled. But after 5 years, when his mother came to know about the pregnancy again, she was terrified and embarrassed. She told that abortion was not common at that time.
So she tried other ways to abort the child in her womb. Shashi had told that his mother fell off the bicycle for abortion. When that too did not work, she tried to hurt herself while climbing down the stairs, but her body kept tolerating everything. He said, 'I was stubborn and perhaps a special future was written for me'. That is why he considered himself a fluke actor and a fluke person. Despite his mother's unwillingness, she gave birth to him and he earned a lot of fame.
Shashi Kapoor's film career was also very special. After working as a child artist in many films, he started his career as a hero in Yash Chopra's film 'Dharmaputra' in 1961. After this, he did many great films, including 'Kanyadan', 'Roti Kapda Aur Makaan', 'Deewar', 'Kabhi Kabhi', 'Satyam Shivam Sundaram' and 'Heeralal Pannalal'. He used to enter the hearts of people in every role. Shashi married English theater actress Jennifer Kendal. He has three children – Kunal, Karan and Sanjana and said goodbye to the world in 2017.
