MUMBAI, SEP 3 (ONLINE) Shakti Kapoor turned a year wiser today and on the special occasion, we take a look back at the time when he spoke about celebrating his special day with none other than the late Rishi Kapoor.<\/p>\n
In a throwback interview with E Times after Rishi\u2019s demise, Shakti shared, \u201cMy birthday falls on September 3 and his on September 4. We both share the same birth year \u2013 1952. He is one day younger than me. My life with Rishi Kapoor goes way back. I must have done 25-30 films with him. Some of the popular films that I can remember are Manmohan Desai\u2019s \u2018Naseeb\u2019, David Dhawan\u2019s \u2018Bol Radha Bol\u2019, \u2018Eena Meena Deeka\u2019 and who can forget the film \u2018Sargam\u2019. It was one of the biggest blockbusters. So we have shared quite a bit of our lives together.<\/p>\n
Talking about the bond that he shared with Rishi, Shakti added, \u201cThere are very few people in my life who have stood by me and he was one of them. As we had our birthdays one day apart, he once asked me why I am not celebrating mine as lavishly as he did. I told him that I didn\u2019t have the kind of money to throw a party like him and call 100 people. Since then, he started celebrating his birthday one day in advance with mine so that we could celebrate it together. He threw a bash for me at the RK studios a few times. There used to be two cakes, one had his name and the other had mine.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat was the time when people in the industry started noticing me. People used to say, \u2018Haan Shakti Kapoor bhi koi chiz hai industry mein jiska birthday Rishi Kapoor mana raha hai!\u2019 When our children were young, we went on some vacations together. I still have the pictures of our kids together somewhere. Rishi was very intelligent and imaginative. I don\u2019t have to say that he was one of the finest actors. Once he considers you his friend, he is very committed to you,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
