Veteran actor Shammi Kapoor, who had enthralled audiences with his super-energetic performance in "Teesri Manzil" (1966), remembers his first wife, actress Geeta Bali, whom he lost while he was shooting for the film.

"There are many beautiful moments I spent during the making of 'Teesri Manzil'. There are some sad moments of my life that occurred during the making of film as well. I lost my wife in that period of time in 1975 and then we continued to work, " Shammi told reporters at PVR Phoenix Mill, where he had attended to watch "Teesri Manzil" in Purani Jeans Film Festival organised by Radio Mirchi.

"She was there when I started working in 'Teesri Manzil'. She would have been very happy to see my contribution in this picture, which I am very proud of, " he added.

Asked which actor of today's generation could reprise his role had the film been remade, he said: "I don't think you will be able to make it again."
