Mumtaz BREAKS DOWN recalling her last meeting with Shammi Kapoor – Exclusive in Video | Hindi Movie News

In a fearless interview with ETimes, Mumtaz was in a mood to talk about almost everything. We were at her swanky house. There’s a picture of her ex, Shammi Kapoor, in her living room. The picture also has Dharmendra and Sunil Dutt.
We discussed Rajesh Khanna’s break-up with Anju Mahendroo. Mumtaz also spoke about Shobhaa De, Jeetendra, Dev Anand, Feroz Khan and several others. See the video below now:

But what struck us very emotionally were Mumtaz’s tears when she spoke about Shammi Kapoor. Recalling the last time she met him, Mumtaz broke down. “Yes, I met him (on his 74th birthday). It was at a place near Haji Ali. His wife Neela Devi called me. She wanted me to come. Asha Patel (Ameesha’s mother) came along with me. I entered the party and saw him sipping red wine. When I asked him why he was drinking, he said that he loves drinking. At that point, I got to know he had only a few months to live. I immediately told him that if this is the situation he should enjoy his life and do whatever he wants.”

Was that the first time she was meeting him after they parted ways and she married Mayur Madhwani? Replied Mumtaz, “Yes. My daughter Natasha and her husband Fardeen Khan had visited him in the hospital, though. He used to call me Junne, which means Jaan. He asked them how I was faring in life. Natasha and Fardeen told him that I am happy.”
