Nine months later Daboo was born. When he was 15 days old my father introduced him to the audiences at the Opera House where he was performing a play. He put paint on his face and applied a tilak on his forehead and announced his birth.

Papaji was like a universe. I've never seen a more complete man. We, Shammi, Shashi and myself are nothing compared to him.

A woman always has her man, but the man unconsciously leans on his roots, his heritage. He feels like an orphan without his parents.

Those days most of the shootings took place indoors, there were very few outdoors.

But my father had other plans. A graduate, he took keen interest in literature and Shakespeare. He was very fond of Ramleela and that's how he got interested in theatre.

We hail from a small town called Samandru.

Mine was the only arranged marriage among us brothers. Actually Krishna is my bua, my father's second cousin.

Later, I bought a house in Deonar and shifted there with my children. My father refused to come with me, he preferred to stay back in our old house in Matunga, nor did he ask for anything from me. He never asked me how much I earned. I've continued this tradition.

Papaji died of throat cancer. I took him to Sloane Kettering and we tried everything to save him. The doctors gave him three months to live. He wanted to come back and die in his own house.

I only feel old and tired. And I see RK as a flickering flame. It is up to Daboo, Chintu and Chimpu to keep it burning. It is now up to them.

Those days acting was not considered a respectable profession. Only prostitutes and other such lower classes were associated with it.

Initially I had thought that only RK films would be shot in my studio but God had something else in mind for me.

Once when I was shooting for Awara, I had completed 13 days of shooting when on the 14th day I was asked to dismantle my sets because the studio had been hired to someone else.

I was very upset and that day I decided to make my own studio. I put together all the money I had and laid the foundation of RK Studio.

I used to work on stage as a child artist. Shammi and Shashi also joined me.

My grandparents felt very humiliated that their son was a part of Ramleela. But my father had made up his mind and one fine day, he gave up his studies, left home and came to Bombay with my mother and me.

Once, he was chosen to play Ram in a small Ramleela company, but his parents were against it.

I think we brothers realised his loss more and more as we grew older. We actually grew closer after his death.

My grandfather was a judge and my grandmother wished that my father Prithviraj Kapoor too would study law and become a judge like her husband.

Nobody knows this, but my parents had two more children, Virendra (Bindi) and Davendra. Both died at a very young age. Virendra by accidentally swallowing rat poison, and Davendra of pneumonia, at the age of three.
