Rishi Kapoor, the quintessential Bollywood star danced, sang and charmed his way into a million hearts

Firstpost  

I remember seeing Masoom only closer to my teen years. Kapoor is shimmying away to the ‘Om Shanti Om’ track in the film and Minni is whole-heartedly supporting her beloved ‘Chintoo mama’ by singing and dancing along with him. His dancing talent was perhaps Rishi Kapoor’s biggest gift to the film industry. Any number of leading men including Shashi Kapoor, Dharmendra, Rajesh Khanna, Vinod Khanna, Shatrughan Sinha and even Jeetendra, the man given the ‘Jumping Jack’ moniker, owing more to his limitations than serving to be a true compliment of his dancing talents, had scarred us sufficiently with their jerks and twirls in the period after Shammi uncle hung up his dancing shoes. He simply danced his way into our hearts be it through the phenomenal qawwali sequence ‘Purdah hai purdah’ from Amar Akbar Anthony, or ‘Aa dil kya mehfil hai tere’, or ‘Paisa yeh paisa’.
