Veteran actor Shashi Kapoor, who passed away at a city hospital here a day ago, was cremated on Tuesday amid rains and cold as Cyclone Ockhi lashes the city's shores.
The actor had been suffering from ailments for the past few years. He had undergone a bypass surgery and was also hospitalised for a chest infection in 2014. Son of Prithviraj Kapoor, Shashi, who played the lead roles in 'Deewar' and 'Junoon', was the last of the Kapoors of his generation - Raj and Shammi Kapoor, his older brothers.
He received the prestigious Padma Bhushan and Dadasaheb Phalke Award as well as several film honours.
