00:00Shami ji had grown up when Preeti Chaturia was born.
00:04I was a very small child.
00:06I was 7-8 years old when Preeti Chaturia was born.
00:11So, I didn't do any of those things.
00:14Raj ji told me, go son, pick up your books from your class and let's go.
00:30Shami ji was a great teacher.
00:35Shami ji was a great teacher.
00:40Shami ji was a great teacher.
00:45Shami ji was a great teacher.
00:50Shami ji was a great teacher.
00:55Shami ji was a great teacher.
00:59Shami ji was a great teacher.
01:04Shami ji was a great teacher.
01:09Shami ji was a great teacher.
01:14Shami ji was a great teacher.
01:19Shami ji was a great teacher.
01:24Namostu sir!
01:25First of all, I'd like to say that everyone will ask a question.
01:28When we talk about Mr. Prasad Kapoor, a poem comes to my mind.
01:31It goes like this,
01:32For thousands of years, Nargis cries for her sister.
01:34It is very difficult to find her in the fields.
01:36That's true.
01:38Now we would like to hear something from you.
01:42Mr. Prasad Kapoor was my father.
01:47He was not just a father.
01:50He was a very good person.
01:52He was a very good person.
01:55And it is not easy for me to praise him.
02:04Because he was a very simple person.
02:07He was a very nice person.
02:09And he used to keep everyone happy.
02:13He wanted to make everyone happy.
02:17I just wish that whenever anyone remembers him,
02:22they remember him with love.
02:27I got the name Prithvi Theater.
02:30Because Prithvi Theater has given birth to people like us.
02:36People like me.
02:39It is a support.
02:41And Prithvi Theater has been going on for 28 years.
02:47So I would like to pray to all of you.
02:53That you make us happy every year.
02:56Prithvi Theater.
02:58You make us happy.
03:00And you are a blessing.
03:04I want to thank all of you.
03:10Sir, we have heard a lot about you.
03:13How did Shammi Kapoor remember his father?
03:17How did he see himself in the mirror?
03:19Is there anything that you remember?
03:21And if you would like to share it with us.
03:23I was very young.
03:25Shammi Kapoor was 7 years older than me.
03:29Shammi Kapoor had grown up when Prithvi Theater was born.
03:33I was a very young child.
03:37I was 7 or 8 years old.
03:39When Prithvi Theater was born.
03:42I didn't do anything.
03:47But I liked it a lot.
03:52When people put a smile on their faces in the name of Prithvi Theater.
04:01And they love it a lot.
04:04I want that love to continue.
04:08Shammi, do you want his father?
04:11We would go to Juhu for a picnic in my father's open.
04:15Papaji never kept the rear view mirror so that he could view the traffic at the back.
04:21He kept it on himself.
04:27To look at his face.
04:29To admire himself.
04:31He would be working on his acting all the time.
04:34What expressions to use.
04:36How he could improve.
04:41I am very happy.
04:54Sir, the name of the book is Kala Desh Ki Sehwag.
04:57One more person from the Kapoor family has come to Sehwag.
05:01Very soon.
05:02The future heir of the Kapoor family.
05:04Ranbir Kapoor.
05:05Absolutely right.
05:06Would you like to say something to Ranbir Kapoor?
05:08I will always bless him.
05:11And my love and blessings are with him.
05:16If I want, then it is a very good job.
05:23The work will have to be done according to the script.
05:27But it should be good.
05:31And I think his parents are fine.
05:33So it should be good.
05:36My father gave me the opportunity to work on stage.
05:43When I was in school.
05:45And I used to go to school on Saturdays and Sundays.
05:48I used to perform there.
05:50In Shakuntala.
05:51I did Bharat Karol.
05:53He was Dushan.
05:54And Avyash ji is sitting next to me.
05:57And he will remember it well.
05:59I was very young.
06:01I was 12-13 years old.
06:03As a matter of fact, I remember very well.
06:05I was expelled from school.
06:07I used to study in Don Bosco School.
06:09Don Bosco School had an objection.
06:12They had an objection.
06:13That on Saturdays and Sundays.
06:15A boy dies on a holiday on a Saturday.
06:17We have an objection.
06:19He works in the theater.
06:20He works anywhere.
06:21But he can't take a holiday.
06:23So my father sent Raj ji.
06:25Go and see.
06:27They have an objection.
06:29So when they saw Raj ji.
06:32He cannot take off.
06:34We will not permit him to work in any theater.
06:37Raj ji told me.
06:39Take your books from your class.
06:41And let's go.
06:43I came back home.
06:44What happened?
06:45Nothing happened.
06:46They said we will not permit.
06:47I said I will take him away.
06:49Raj ji expelled me from school.
06:51I left Don Bosco School just like that.
06:54Luckily my father knew somebody.
06:57Mr. M.T. Vyas.
06:58Principal of New Era School.
06:59He took me there.
07:01But this was my beginning.
07:03Prithvi Theater.
07:05I went from one school to another.
07:09My father is inspired in all of us.
07:12Very good discipline basically.
07:14Very good thinking.
07:16And you can imagine.
07:19Whatever we have learnt.
07:22We have learnt at his feet.
07:24If I say Yahoo is mine.
07:28Yahoo was born somewhere in theater.
07:32In Bahadur Khan Pathan.
07:38That was a style of Yahoo.
07:40My father instilled it in me.
07:42Yahoo is not mine.
07:44It is his.
07:45Whatever I have done in my life.
07:48It is his.
07:49It is his gift.
07:50It is his blessing.
07:52Sir, you told us your first experience in theater.
07:54Do you remember your first experience in theater?
07:57When I came to theater.
07:59When I left theater.
08:01I came to Shashi's theater.
08:05Shashi came to theater.
08:07After my death.
08:09In 1952.
08:11I did my last performance in Calcutta.
08:13After that.
08:15I signed G.M. Josie film.
08:17In Kaza Studios.
08:19I came for that.
08:20And Shashi came to theater after that.
08:22You can ask him.
08:24You have worked with so many people.
08:26You have worked with junior artists.
08:28What kind of interaction did you have with them?
08:30With junior artists.
08:32I.
08:34With junior artists.
08:36I have always worked with them.
08:38And.
08:40And.
08:42Last 10 years.
08:44I have not worked.
08:46I have retired.
08:48But.
08:50Till that time.
08:52With junior artists.
08:54They have done a good job.
08:56They have done a good job.
08:58They have done a good job.
09:00They have supported me with love.
09:02I am thankful to them.
09:04I am thankful to them.
09:06I can say thank you.
09:08I want to say.
09:10I want to say.
09:12I hope.
09:14That in future.
09:16The small stars.
09:18The small stars.
09:20They will help them.
09:22They will help them.
09:24They will help them.
09:26Sir, I want to know.
09:28How many things did your father tell you?
09:30About your father.
09:32Do you remember any seat.
09:34Which inspired you?
09:36Do you want to sleep in that seat?
09:38Yes.
09:40There are many things.
09:42But I will sleep in that seat.
09:44I like many things.
09:46Like the seat of the car.
09:48He did not tell me.
09:50There was a convertible car.
09:5216 people used to sit in that car.
09:54We used to sit 16 people in that car.
09:56We used to take them for picnic.
09:58Today when I think about it.
10:00I used to sit more than 5 people in my car.
10:02I used to sit more than 5 people in my car.
10:04I used to sit more than 5 people in my car.
10:06I used to sit more than 5 people in my car.
10:08I used to sit more than 5 people in my car.
10:10I used to sit more than 5 people in my car.
10:12I used to sit more than 5 people in my car.
10:14I used to sit more than 5 people in my car.
10:16I used to sit more than 5 people in my car.
10:18I used to walk on my way.
10:22What are the memories of your father?
10:24What are the memories of your father?
10:26The memories of my father...
10:28The biggest memory
10:30The biggest memory
10:32Is here
10:34I am small memory
10:36I am small memory
10:38But
10:40All of this is his gift
10:42Because of him
10:44We have reached here
10:46And I am grateful to Babaji and his theatre that through this theatre we could learn something and do good work.
11:04And now moving forward, good and right work is happening.
11:10This is a good thing.
11:14Ranveer Kapoor has said one thing.
11:16Now Samaria is coming.
11:17How will you wish her?
11:18What will you say to her?
11:19I have already said.
11:20What will you wish for Samaria?
11:23I think that Samaria is a big test for a filmmaker.
11:32And she will definitely succeed.
11:35It is a test.
11:36It is a very tough test.
11:38Because she has to keep her father's name, her mother's name, her grandfather's name.
11:45She has to make him proud.
11:46Her two uncles are very famous.
11:48So it is a very tough fight.
11:51But there is an incentive that he will work hard.
11:54He will do good work.
11:55And he will definitely succeed.
11:58What do you expect from the coming generation like Ranveer Kapoor?
12:03How much time is he going to give to Prithvi Theatre?
12:06No.
12:07Not at all.
12:08This is really a focus of Shashi Kapoor and Jennifer Kapoor.
12:12They put their energies into building this theatre.
12:15And after that Kunal Kapoor managed the theatre.
12:17He managed it for 8 years.
12:19People forget that he managed it.
12:21He kept Prithvi Theatre alive.
12:23And very gradually I started working.
12:25I have been working for 17 years.
12:27But it is not that I have been doing different things for 17 years.
12:31Now the management is with me and my team.
12:34But this is the only part of the family that is here.
12:38It is wonderful that last year and this year we managed to pull the rest of the family here.
