Shammi Kapoor was a top Bollywood star in the 1960s known for his style and dance. As new stars like Rajesh Khanna became popular in the 1970s, Shammi’s fame slowly faded. He once told actor Ashish Vidyarthi that when people asked where his crowd was, he said the crowd was outside Rajesh Khanna’s house, meaning the audience had moved on. Shammi advised that success in the film industry is temporary and people will leave you. Shammi Kapoor acted with Rajesh Khanna in the film Andaz, where Rajesh’s special appearance helped the film succeed. Shammi is remembered as a trendsetter and a charming star of his time.
