I knew a bit about Jennifer's death - and I think it is more than fair for him to have decided whatever he wanted.

I know it's inconvenient, and I really do appreciate people being willing to sign in to post :)<BR/><BR/>Sanket - I would love to know more about your thoughts on both AB and SK - that would make a great post! I found an article over the summer about the different male superstars of the 70s and why all of them were necessary to fill our imaginations. http://www.egothemag.com/archives/<BR/>2005/05/hero_1.htm I agree, of course, that AB and SK are very different, and I love their pairings. That would be another great post - discussing all of their films!<BR/><BR/>Sigh.

But Shashi was right up there and from a guy's point of view he is many things that AB never was & never could be. It's a celebration of differences & some of my favorite movies are the ones they were in together. And for the record - my first Shashi movie was 'Do Aur Do Paanch'. Inspired madness that went beyond the usual melodramatic that was Bollywood back in the day.Sanket Vyashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00410998671085464946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15977843.post-78614528751623572592007-11-30T12:55:00.000-06:002007-11-30T12:55:00.000-06:00WOW!!I love Bollywood too but my love is so under-...WOW!!<BR/><BR/>I love Bollywood too but my love is so under-informed..

Which in no way diminishes how fun it is to say. Somehow it's more satisfying than "That fellow looks a bit like Anupam KhOMYGOD!" or "That couldn't possibly be Farida JalOHMYGOD!" I think this is because of the actual spoken and implied metaphorical <I>oooh</I> in the name "Kapoor."<BR/><BR/>The Dreaded Male Kapoor Bloat was known to me before I knew anything about Shashi, having first seen Shammi in <I>Parvarish</I> and wondering how he could be "the Indian Elvis." It's not the bulk so much at is the arrangement of it. I am in no position to throw stones about pudge, but they look like they have shoved multiple rectangular bed pillows under the front of their jackets. It's like they're in very bad fat suits, dressed up to play Santa at the mall - even worse than the insultingly idiotic "fat Monica" in <I>Friends</I>. Additionally, I would never, ever deny anyone, especially someone I love as much as Shashi, cake, for cake is the finest dessert and should be enjoyed by one and all.<BR/><BR/>There is ample Shashi-related thunder for everyone! The Shashi storm knows no bounds!

The "...that looks like a KapooOHMYGOD" line has also often been used by the PPCC, most notably in Awaara (well, we sort of knew Shashi was in that, but we forgot until we saw it again).<BR/><BR/>2. And OMG the PPCC <I>also</I> first saw Shashi in a completely un-Shashi-like state, that being in In Custody, where he is, charitably-put, prone to projectile vomiting and other unattractive qualities. Hence just as you consider Shaan your first REAL Shashi experience, we consider Silsila ours. And what an experience it is! OMG, watch Silsila, he is so sexy in it. We forgot. Rowr.<BR/><BR/>3. OMG YOU STOLE THE PPCC'S THUNDER IT'S LIKE WE SHARE ONE BRAIN BECAUSE <I>WE</I> HAD PLANNED A PURELY SHASHI-CENTRIC POST FOR TODAY IT'S ALL WRITTEN UP AND EVERYTHING AND YET YOU'VE GONE AND BEATEN US TO IT WHYYYYYYYY!!!! What are we to dooooo now?!!!!<BR/><BR/>I leave you with <A HREF="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JhD6SqTFSRw" REL="nofollow">this</A>. Arrrgh. It's hard to find the Shashi in all that... fat. God, just lay off the frickin' cake for a minute.a ppcc representativehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03533616493105736109noreply@blogger.com
