Shashi passed away after a prolonged illness at the age of 79. His elder son Kunal Kapoor was by his bedside when his end came.

Shashi had been ailing for quite some time and was confined to a wheel chair for many years.
As soon as the news of his demise spread, celebs such as Amitabh Bachchan, Aishwarya Bachchan, Abhishek Bachchan, Kajol, Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor reached his Juhu residence, Janki Kutir.
Late last night, Amitabh Bachchan, also wrote a heartrending blog on working with Shashi Kapoor and his thoughts when he first saw him.
May his soul rest in peace.
