Zahan Kapoor with Shashi Kapoor
Veteran superstar Shashi Kapoor`s grandson Zahan Kapoor, who has been active on the theatre front, carved a niche in showbiz with Faraaz and Black Warrant. He misses his granddad dearly as he remembers the icon on his 87th birth anniversary. In an exclusive interaction with Mid-day, Zahan gets candid about his fondest memories with the superstar and speaks about taking his legacy forward.
Zahan, the newest Kapoor addition in showbiz, shares core memories of his legendary grandfather Shashi Kapoor. He speaks about the profound impact he had on his childhood. When asked what he misses the most about him, the young actor gets emotional and says, "He is much more than just a grandfather than he is anything else because he retired when I was born, and then by the time I became a young adult, he was quite sick. I was not able to share my love of this craft and this world with him and I feel quite sad that I was not able to do that. He did not see me perform."
