The actress shared some pictures from their films together and wrote, “The Kapoors and my family go back in time through the bonds of fate and a shared love of cinema, forming a connection that went beyond a simple friendship. It began with the childhood bond that Dilip Sahib and Raj Ji shared, and my dear mother, Appaji, who had worked with Prithviraj Kapoor in the past. I can still vividly remember when I was going to debut in the film industry, Yashji wanted to sign us Shashi Ji already me for the role. ‘Dharmaputra’. At that time, luckily, Appaji went ahead with ‘Junglee’ where I worked with Shammi Ji instead of Shashi Ji.”

Another film they couldn’t work on together was ‘Shagird’. “When the casting of “Shagird” was about to end, Subodh uncle suggested that Shashi Ji and I should work in this film instead of Joy Mukherjee, but unfortunately, luckily, Shashi ji’s role was taken over by Joy Mukherjee again. “said Banú.

The actress said, “When I was shooting for Purab Aur Paschim, our shoot was done in Poona, at Raj ji’s huge farmhouse. As soon as Shashi ji came to know about this, he immediately came to me and said, ‘Saira, please Please bring me to Shrewsbury.” Biscuits from there,” and I always responded to his request with big packets of Shrewsbury biscuits, no matter how busy I was shooting. There are some things you never forget about people, especially when you make them happy with the smallest gesture, and for Shashi ji, it was a packet of Shrewsbury biscuits.”
While talking more about his funny pranks, Banu concluded the note by saying, “Happy birthday, dear friend! With love and fond memories.”
