Shashi Kapoor was the youngest son of the patriarch of the Kapoor family in Hindi cinema, the late Prithviraj Kapoor. He began his career as a child artist in 1948 in his brother Raj Kapoor’s directorial debut film Aag and made his debut as an adult in 1961 with Yash Chopra’s political drama Dharmputra.

Shashi Kapoor established himself in 1965 with two blockbusters, Waqt and Jab Jab Phool Khile. After that, he faced a period of limited success. However, in 1974, he made a remarkable comeback and became one of the top five to six leading stars of that era. From the early 1970s to the 1990s, he acted in several blockbuster Hindi films.
