'Even when he was sick, Shammi was very positive'

August 16, 2011 13:32 IST
One of Bollywood's best villians, Prem Chopra [ Images ] worked with the late Shammi Kapoor [ Images ] in quite a few films like Laat Saheb, Teesri Manzil and Pagla Kahin Kaa.

He pays a tribute to the legend here:

I have worked with Shammi Kapoor in many films. I would meet him very regularly. In fact, I met him in hospital recently.

We had lunch together about two months back. He was very tired then because he had been sick for quite a while. But even when he was sick, he was a free-spirited man with a very positive attitude.

Unhe maloom tha ke jaana toh sab ko ek din hai toh kyun na zindagi jee bhar ke jiye (He knew everybody had to die one day so why not live life the way you want to).

He lived his life beautifully.
