May 13, 2015 by niveditaabem

Indian film actor, Shashi Kapoor was bestowed the Dadasaheb Phalke Award, the highest honour in Indian cinema on May 10th, 2015. The actor is the 46th winner of the Award that was first introduced in the year 1969. The award was initiated by the Government of India to commemorate the contribution to Indian cinema made by eminent Indian film-maker Dadasaheb Phalke (1870-1944), also regarded as ‘the Father of Indian Cinema’. The event is held annually at the National Film Awards ceremony by the Directorate of Film Festivals.

Is it a mere co-incidence that the Mr. Shashi Kapoor, who uttered one of the most iconic Hindi film dialogue ‘Mere paas maa hai’, was honoured with the Dadasaheb Phalke Award on Mother’s Day?

The award ceremony that is normally held in the capital New Delhi had to be observed in Mumbai understanding that the actor was not in the peak of his health and was wheel chair bound. India’s Information and Broadcasting Minister Arun Jaitley presented the honor to Mr. Shashi Kapoor at the legendary Prithvi Theatre in Mumbai.

Among the family members present included Rishi Kapoor, Neetu Singh, Karishma Kapoor, Ranbir Singh, Krishna Raj Kapoor, Neela Devi and Saif Ali Khan among others.

The actor’s son Kunal and daughter Sanjana accompanied him as he arrived on stage. Mr. Shashi Kapoor is the third member the Kapoor family to have received this big honor. His father Mr. Prithviraj Kapoor and elder brother Raj Kapoor were the other recipients of the award from the family.

His debut as the lead hero in a movie was in the film ‘Dharmputra’, 1961. He became one of the most popular and finest actors ruling the 1960s, 1970s and the mid-1980s.
