It wasn’t the way one would want to remember him.Brotherly auraShashi Kapoor played Amitabh Bachchan’s younger brother in Deewar, Trishul, Shaan and only played his older brother once, in Silsila. The moment Shashi learnt that the journo was on her way to interview actor Smita Patil, he quickly wrapped up something and said, "Give this to Smita.
