We had watched Shashiji in films since our younger days. He was so handsome that girls used to adore him. A truly respected name within the industry, he had an illustrious background, and his wife Jennifer [Kendal], who came from a family of renowned theatre artistes, was a gifted and sagacious individual, too. Some may mind my use of the word, but the biggest favour that Shashiji has done to Hindi theatre is by founding the Prithvi Theatre. When his father was no more and he inherited the space, he could have built something that would earn him crores.
