Aamir seeks Shammi kapoor’s blessing

Aamir Khan’s fondness of veteran actor Shammi Kapoor is a fact that is now known to one and all. Recently, Aamir himself confessed that he considers Shammi-ji as his lucky mascot and hence asked the legendary actor to launch the music of his nephew Imran’s debut film, Jaane Tu…Ya Jaane Na. Even last year, when Aamir turned director with Taare Zameen Par, he took Shammi-ji’s blessings before releasing the music of the film. Now, Aamir showed his love and respect for Shammi-ji once again when the actor turned up all the way from Chennai to felicitate Shammi Kapoor. Shammi was bestowed with the Lifetime Achievement Award at the Osian’s Cinefan Festival in Mumbai over the weekend and Aamir was present by his side in his moment of glory. Shammi Kapoor, who has given immortal hits like Dil Deke Dekho, Junglee, An Evening in Paris, Kashmir Ki Kali and Teesri Manzil, seemed touched by this gesture and thanked everyone from the film industry for his success. Shammi Kapoor’s immediate family consisting of his wife Neela Devi, daughter Kanchan and son Aditya Raj Kapoor were also present on this special occasion.
