Shashi Kapoor funeral latest updates: Prithvi Theatre to Santa Cruz crematorium, the last journey

When veteran actor Shashi Kapoor died yesterday evening, most people were not informed that the actor's body would be brought back to his home. The legendary actor breathed his last at the age of 79 yesterday. He was at the Kokilaben Hospital in Mumbai, and passed away after prolonged illness.

Shashi Kapoor had secluded himself from the outside world after the death of his wife Jennifer Kendal, in 1984. He lived a life filled with work, theatre and films.

The entire Kapoor family, from grandchildren Kareena to Ranbir, to nephews Randhir and Rishi, along with the who's who of B-Town, made their way to pay their last respects to the Hindi film industry's most enigmatic and charming actor, Shashi Kapoor.

Kapoor's last journey will see his body being taken first to the Prithvi Theatre, the child that he and Jennifer Kendal co-parented, and is now taken care of by their daughter Sanjana Kapoor. After Prithvi Theatre, Shashi Kapoor's body will be taken to the Santa Cruz crematorium for his last rites.
