Shashi Kapoor dies, Shashi Tharoor gets condolence calls

New Delhi/Thiruvanthapuram, Dec 5: Veteran actor-filmmaker Shashi Kapoor, died on Monday at a hospital in Mumbai. But Congress leader Shashi Tharoor said he was getting condolence calls. ‘“We’re getting condolence calls in the office. Reports of my demise are, if not exaggerated, at least premature. #ShashiKapoor,” Tharoor tweeted on Monday.

The mistake happened after a news channel’s Twitter handle wrote Shashi Tharoor instead of Shashi Kapoor, who was 79.

But the politician has “no problem” as “mistakes happen. Glad to be able to crack a smile at a tragic moment”. Tharoor even paid tribute to the youngest son of late Prithviraj Kapoor and brother of late Raj Kapoor and Shammi Kapoor.

“I feel a part of me is gone. A great actor, smart, cosmopolitan, impossibly handsome and w/a me that was often confused w/mine. (My office got two calls from jourlists today about my reportedly serious ill-health!) I will miss Shashi Kapoor. Condolences to his family and all his fans,” he tweeted. (IANS)
