A Quote by Naseeruddin Shah

One would marvel on the screen the way Shammi Kapoor walked, Dilip Kumar cried, or seeing Dev Anand's style. And then, one day, you are in the same space with them. It's very unreal.

A hero today must be Raj Kapoor, Sunil Dutt, Shammi Kapoor, Dev Anand, Dilip Kumar and Amitabh Bachchan rolled into one. These are the six hero slots in Hindi cinema and an actor must be able to play all if he wants a long innings.

Boney Kapoor

My very first film in Hindi - 'CID' - was with Dev Anand. I was a big fan of his. So you can imagine my excitement and nervousness at doing a film with him. On the very first day on the sets, when I called him 'Dev Saab' he turned around and said 'No no, call me Dev.'

Waheeda Rehman

But since I did my first film with Shammi Kapoor ji, he is my favourite. I was very shy to face the camera. In my first few shots with Shammi chacha, I was very nervous. He was very patient with me and guided me in every shot.

Asha Parekh

I have only seen movies of my generation - 'Mother India,' 'Shree 420,' 'Awaara.' Those days, we had actors such as Dilip Kumar, Ashok Kumar.

Milkha Singh

The first film that I saw of Shammi Kapoor was 'Bhramachari.' I instantly fell in love with the film and connected with Shammiji. His style was natural and unique.

Sanjay Leela Bhansali

The first film I worked in was Dev Anand's 'Hum Naujawan.'Then I went back to school and college.

Tabu

I'll remember this to my grave. We all walked into a room to see the screen tests. The first screen test was Marion Hutton's. Then came Janis Paige [who ended up with a part in the film]. Then on the screen came Doris Day. I can only tell you, the screen just exploded. There was absolutely no question. A great star was born and the rest is history.

Sammy Cahn

There have never been any fights in the Kapoor family. We are close to even our cousins - like the way Rishi's children and mine interact with Shashi and Shammi's children.

Randhir Kapoor

I was born on Dev Anand's birthday so I believe... the older I get, the better I become.

Chunky Pandey

People think I am joking when I say my favourite actors are Shammi Kapoor and Dara Singh.

Naseeruddin Shah

Artists like Mehmood, Dilip Kumar, Amitabh Bachchan are performers... they are born in centuries.

Johnny Lever

I idolised Dilip Kumar, I've seen all his movies, 30-40 times each.

Jeetendra

I walked home, seeing all my doubt from the other side. Have you ever seen that? Like when you go on holiday. On the way back, everything is the same but it looks a little different than it did on the way. It's because you're seeing it backwards.
