raj Kapoor and Raj Kapoor being the other recipients,” he added. Kunal, one of Shashi’s three children — others being son Karan and daughter Sanjana — shared that it is a proud moment. “I’m very proud and thankful to the government for recognizing his work. This is the third award in our family. I am very thankful and extremely happy,” Kunal told IANS. Minister for Information and Broadcasting Arun Jaitley also conveyed his congratulations on the occasion, while Minister of State for Information and Broadcasting Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore, congratulating Shashi Kapoor on the award, said in a tweet that “his sensitive portrayal of human emotions has touched many a heart”. Present-day filmmakers Prakash Jha and Madhur Bhandarkar also lauded the government’s decision to
honor Kapoor. “TRULY DELIGHTED that one of my favorite actors, the legendary Shashi Kapoorji has been honored with Dadasaheb Phalke Award! Many congrats,” Bhandarkar tweeted. Jha posted: “True recognition #DadaSahebPhalke to a brilliant actor and passionate producer, who gave so much to Cinema! Love you Shashi Kapoor Sir.” Together with his elder brothers, the late Raj and Shammi Kapoor, Shashi formed the Kapoor trinity, who took the film industry by storm. Shashi began his tryst with acting at the age of four, with plays directed and produced by his father Prithviraj Kapoor. He started acting in films as a child in the late 1940s. His best known performances as child artist were in Aag (1948) and Awaara (1951).

ilmmaker Vishal Bhardwaj, who has dedicated the five National Film Awards that his film Haider has bagged, to Kashmiri Pandits, has left veteran actor Anupam Kher irked. Haider, based on William Shakespeare’s play Hamlet, was set against the backdrop of insurgency of Kashmir. He was blamed for showing only one side of the Valley, but he has defended himself by saying that he removed the representation of Kashmiri Pandits in the film as he felt the tragedy was too big to be summed up in a minor piece. “I dedicate my (all five National) awards to them (Kashmiri Pandits) because I feel their tragedy was very big and a complete film should have been made on them.
