Throughout his career, he aped Elvis. 

I don't remember Elvis throwing himself down and rolling on the floor or ground like jumbhy hold him and then running in the bushes and hugging trees . LOL. Anyway his father owned the studio. Raj Kapoor was the best of the three brothers. Shashi tried but some movies flopped.

Sharukh is King Khan.

Here is Shashi in a club song mimicking the Beatles, with a band called Swingers. Shashi's wife was British.

These were famous movies, songs, stars, and a major part of our upbringing. Bollywood was great then.

Shammi and Mumtaz closeness developed during the filming of the song 'Aajkal Tere Mere Pyar Ke Charche,' and they were together for a period of two to three years. However,  she was hesitant to marry him as he believed that women marrying into the Kapoor family should not pursue careers after marriage. That was too controlling for her.

Geeta was one year older than Shammi. Geeta said that he would ask her to get married often but she would brush it off. This went on for almost three years until one day, Geeta agreed but presented a condition – the wedding had to happen on the same day or it wouldn’t happen at all. “In 1955, we got married, here at Bandra at 4 am."

Geeta Bali passed away in 1965, ten years after being married to Shammi Kapoor. He later married Neela Devi. Shammi passed away in 2011 at the age of 79.

Every man wanted her, every woman wanted to be like her. A guy from East Coast Dem. had a major teenage crush on his neighbor who he said was Mumu's twin.      Saw her recently on India reality shows, she aged well.

Mumtaz, the yesteryear actress is unrecognizable in latest ...

She currently lives in London. Mumtaz was born to Abdul Salim Askari (a dry fruits vendor) and Shadi Habib Agha who hailed from Iran. She is a breast cancer survivor.

SHAMMI KAPOOR PROPOSED MUMTAZ FOR MARRIAGE BUT SHE SAID "NO"

By

6:05 AM

When yesteryear's top most star Mumtaz was fifteen year old, she went to attend a shooting with her sister Malika, there she saw Shammi Kapoor filming a song on the sets of a film, she almost instantly expressed her desire to marry him. Little did she know that years later, the Yahoo fame star Shammi Kapoor would propose marriage to her. While the yesteryear actors didn’t get their happy ending, their love story has been one of the most talked-about Bollywood romances in the past few decades. Both Mumtaz and the late actor have been vocal about their brief love story, despite the heartbreak.

While speaking to the media, Mumtaz, who shared the screen with Shammi in Brahmachari, said she was deeply in love with him but refused to marry him because she was young and ambitious and wanted to make it big in Bollywood. “His wife Geeta Bali had passed away. During the shooting of the song ‘Aajkal Tere Mere Pyar Ke Charche’, we came closer and fell in love. We were together for two-three years. He professed his love to me and asked me to marry him. I loved him deeply but he told me that I couldn’t work after marriage as women marrying into the Kapoor clan didn’t work,” recalled Mumtaz.

It is also said that before Shammi Kapoor, Mumtaz was in love with the style icon Feroz Khan but Feroz Khan had a girl friend so she never expressed her love for Feroz Khan.

On Feroz Khan, Mumtaz the ever gorgeous said, " Feroz Khan was so handsome and full of charisma, we were working in so many films including Apradh, we were best buddies and I was in love with him, Feroz also liked me, but he loved another girl. Feroz Khan was such a handsome man that any girl would have loved to marry."

mumu is 1 of my fave girl esp since allof her movies with Rajesh Khanna (my superstar) were HITS.  

Maybe i mentioned this before..the only hindi dvds i have(movies) r with Mumu n Rajesh K..ie

In memory  of my late sis who died in 1981 at the tender age of 26.

(my sis had a lil ‘buckish’ look..fair-skinned with nice round fave..n shehad similar figure(body shape) as Mumu ..nice legs n hips!

That song from loafer..with red leather hot-pants is sizzling dance..n my sis imitated MUMU  â€Ķshehad a unique way of moving her hims

MUMU is one of my g=fave girls!!! But emotionally it connects me to  my late sissy!!
