The third and youngest son of Prithviraj Kapoor, Shashi Kapoor made his Bollywood debut in 1961, as the lead actor, in the film Dharamputra. Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi called Shashi Kapoor a legend and said he will "remain in our hearts forever." In the hurry, some made embarrassing mix-ups, calling up the offices to Congress leader Shashi Tharoor to ask after his health.
