Shashi Kapoor Reflects on Aging and Family
In a rare interview, Shashi Kapoor humorously discussed his greying hair. When complimented on his dark hair, he revealed that most of his hair had been dyed, leaving only the sideburns untouched. He even pointed to them while making the light-hearted confession.

He said, "I have done a lot of black hair, only this part has been left. I am a very old man. I am 46 years old. My children, by the grace of God, have grown up. The oldest is 24-25 years old. Kunal, Karan and Sanjana. I have been married to Jennifer for 100 years. But all this is because of my hair. There will be something from my last birth. I think there will be something in the next birth too. I told Jennifer that day too."
