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.
01:24Sir, I would like to ask a question.
01:27When we talk about Mr. Prithviraj Kapoor, I always hear a poem.
01:31It goes like this.
01:32For thousands of years, Nargis cried for her sister.
01:34With great difficulty, she was born in 1954.
01:36That's right.
01:38Now, we would like to hear from you.
01:42Mr. Prithviraj Kapoor was my father.
01:46He was not just my father.
01:49He was a very good person.
01:52He was a very good person.
01:54It is not easy for me to praise him.
02:03He was a very simple and nice person.
02:08He used to make everyone happy.
02:15This is my only wish.
02:19Whenever I think of him, I think of him with love.
02:24I got the name Prithvi Theater.
02:29Prithvi Theater gave birth to people like us.
02:35People like me.
02:37People like me.
02:41Prithvi Theater has been running for 28 years.
02:49I would like to say this.
02:51I would like to request you all.
02:53I would like to thank you for making us Prithvi Theaters.
02:59You should make us Prithvi Theaters.
03:01You are the one who makes us Prithvi Theaters.
03:04I would like to thank all of you.
03:11We heard that Mr. Shammi Kapoor remembered his father.
03:17He used to see himself in the mirror.
03:19Do you remember anything like this?
03:21If you can share it with us.
03:23I was very young.
03:25Mr. Shammi Kapoor was older than me.
03:27He was 7 years older than me.
03:29Mr. Shammi Kapoor was older when Prithvi Theater was born.
03:33I was a very young child.
03:36I was 7 or 8 years old.
03:39When Prithvi Theater started.
03:41I didn't do anything.
03:45But I liked it very much.
03:52When people put a smile on people's faces in the name of Prithvi Theater.
03:59And they love us a lot.
04:03I want that love to continue.
04:08Mr. Shammi Kapoor remembered his father.
04:11We would go to Juhu for a picnic in my father's open.
04:15Papa ji never kept the rear view mirror.
04:18So 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.
04:54Sir, the name of the book is Kaladesh Ki Sehwag.
04:57So from the Kapoor family.
04:59There is another person in Sehwag.
05:01Very soon.
05:02The future son-in-law 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.
05:10And my love and blessings are with him.
05:16If I want.
05:18It is a very good work.
05:21The work has to be done like a film star.
05:27But it should be good.
05:30And 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 here is Mr. Aryaz 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.
06:04I 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 cannot take a holiday.
06:23So my father had to send Raj.
06:25Go and see.
06:27They have an objection.
06:29So when they told Raj.
06:31That he cannot take a holiday.
06:34We will not permit him to work in any theater.
06:37Raj told me.
06:38Go son.
06:39Pick up 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 got me expelled from school.
06:51I left Don Bosco School just like that.
06:54So luckily 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.
07:10My father has inspired in all of us.
07:13Very good discipline basically.
07:15Very good thinking.
07:17And believe me.
07:20Whatever we have learnt.
07:22We have learnt at his feet.
07:25If I say.
07:27Yahoo is mine.
07:28No.
07:29Yahoo was born somewhere in theater.
07:32In Bahadur Khan Pathan.
07:38That was also a style of Yahoo.
07:40My father instilled that in me.
07:42Yahoo is not mine.
07:44That is also his.
07:45Whatever I have done in my life.
07:48That is his.
07:49That is his gift.
07:50That is his blessing.
07:52Sir, you have told us about your first experience in theater.
07:55Do you remember your first experience in theater?
07:57When I came to theater.
07:59When I left theater.
08:00I came to Shashiji Theater.
08:05Shashiji 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 Kazdar Studios.
08:19I came for that.
08:20Shashiji came to theater after that.
08:22You ask him.
08:24You have worked with so many people.
08:26There were many junior artists.
08:28What kind of interaction did you have with them?
08:30With junior artists.
08:32I.
08:34The junior artists.
08:36I have always worked with them.
08:44I have not worked for the last 10 years.
08:46I have retired.
08:48But.
08:50Till that time.
08:52I have worked with junior artists.
08:54I have done a good job.
08:56I have done a good job.
08:58I have done a good job.
09:00I have done a good job.
09:02I am grateful to them.
09:04I am grateful to them.
09:06I can say thank you.
09:08I can say thank you.
09:10I want to say.
09:12I want to say.
09:14I hope.
09:16The little stars.
09:18The little stars.
09:20Will come.
09:22I want to help them.
09:24I want to help them.
09:26Will come.
09:28How many things.
09:30Your father told us.
09:32Will come.
09:34How many things.
09:40There are many things.
09:42Will come.
09:44I was very fond of many things, like I told you about the small convertible car which had 16 people in it.
09:53Babaji used to sit 16 people in it and take them on picnics.
09:58Today, I can tell you that I used to not let more than 5 people sit in my car.
10:03How did I dare to do that?
10:07In those days, there was no traffic and it was very crowded.
10:18So, I used to take them on my way.
10:25Babaji's memories are the biggest thing.
10:31I have a small memory of Babaji, but it is all due to Babaji that we have come this far.
10:46I am very grateful to Babaji and his theatre.
10:56We have learnt a lot through Babaji's theatre.
11:02We have done a lot of good work.
11:05Now, we are doing a lot of good work.
11:10It is a good thing.
11:14What would you like to say to the people of Samaria?
11:19I have already said it.
11:21What would you like to say to the people of Samaria?
11:24I think that Samaria is a big test for the people of Samaria.
11:33They will definitely succeed.
11:35It is a big test.
11:38They have to keep their father's name, mother's name and grandfather's name.
11:45They have to make them proud.
11:47They have two famous uncles.
11:49So, it is a tough fight.
11:52But it is also an incentive to work hard and do good work.
11:56They will definitely succeed.
11:58What do you expect from the coming generation, like Ranbir Kapoor?
12:03How much time will he give to Prithvi Theatre?
12:07No, definitely not.
12:09This is really a focus of Shashi Kapoor and Jennifer Kapoor.
12:13They put their energies into building this theatre.
12:15Kunal Kapoor managed the theatre for 8 years.
12:18He managed it.
12:20People forget that he managed it.
12:22He kept Prithvi Theatre alive.
12:24And very gradually I started working.
12:26I have been working for 17 years.
12:28But it is not like I have been doing everything for 17 years.
12:32Now, the management is with me and my team.
12:36This 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.
