Amitabh visits ailing
Shammi Kapoor in hospital
New Delhi, Dec 7 (IANS)
Legendary actor Shammi Kapoor has been admitted to the Breach Candy Hospital
here with a chest infection — and one of the many fans visiting him was
old friend Amitabh Bachchan.
Amitabh made it a point
to visit Kapoor, 78, Sunday itself, a day after he had been hospitalised.
“The evening started with
a visit to Breach Candy Hospital where the great Shammi Kapoor has been
admitted with a chest infection,” Amitabh wrote on his blog bigb.bigadda.com
“Seeing him confined to
a bed has been disturbing, but his spirit and his will has been one that
requires no words to express his nonchalant reserved demeanour. Shammi
Kapoor, who sang and danced his way into our hearts from the snows of Kashmir
to the endless soirees he held at his apartment in town. Sad to see him
like this, but how wonderful to find his spirits alive and his humour intact,”
he added.
Amitabh said he was nostalgic
during the visit and recalled the times when he had to spend time in the
same hospital.
“Entering Breach Candy
is always full of the (memories of) many difficult episodes we as a family
went through. My illness in 1982 and 1983 and 1984 and the many visits
of my father and my mother and the very special manner in which they took
care of all of us,” he wrote.
