January 18, 2011 (Sampurn Wire): Veteran Bollywood stars Shammi Kapoor, 79-year old and Shashi Kapoor, 72-year old are both hospitalized in Mumbai with critical conditions. Both the ailing Kapoor veterans are not ready to go in for further treatment.

Shammi Kapoor, who was undergoing Kidney failure treatment and Shashi Kapoor, was under quite a few health related issues have both requested their family members to take them back home so that they can spend time at home with family.

According to reports, both the Kapoor brothers have declined requests from family members to be taken abroad for further treatment and feel that it is better to be at home and enjoy the company of family.

Shammi Kapoor who was the handsome hunk of the industry in his time has been one of the most loved Kapoor brothers on screen. His popular bolly numbers like Yahoo- Chahe Koi Mujhe Junglee Kahe, Badan Pe Sitaare etc are still loved by film buffs all across. Shammi Kapoor carried the lover boy legacy of the Kapoors on screen with an attitude and flair which is simply incomparable by any standards.

Shashi Kapoor too was one of the best-looking Kapoor lad in the film world. His toothy dimpled smile was a rage with women and his films like Aa Gale Lag Jaa, Deewar (where his ever popular dialogue Mere Paas Maa hai) will always be remembered as long as the Bollywood industry remains.

Thus for the sake of these two very much loved and respected veteran film stars, we do wish them a quick recovery.
