/> Although Hema Malini has done two films with Shammi Kapoor, her bonding with the Yahoo star goes back way beyond the camera. Hema was very close to Shammi Kapoor's sister-in-law.

Recalls the Dream Girl, "It was through Shammiji's wife Neela Devi's sister Sheila Devi that we kept in touch. I was very close to Sheila Devi and Shammiji and I would often chat about her. Unfortunately Sheila Devi is no more.

Shammiji had become a very spiritual person in his later years. I really liked that side of him. As far as acting with him goes, when I did my first film Andaz with him I was very young and raw. He was very senior.

In fact I had the privilege of working wth all the three Kapoor brothers...my first film in 1968 Sapnon Ka Saudagar was with Raj Saab. A year later I did Jahan Pyar Mile with Shashi Kapoor, then Andaz with Shammi.

There wasn't much rapport between us because he was so much senior. I remember the first thing we shot together was that song Dil ussey do jo jaan de de. Years later Shammiji and I came together in Meera. He will be sorely missed. His energy level was much higher than mine. "
