The Indian actor Shammi Kapoor has died aged 79.
His doctor, Bhupendra Gandhi, said Kapoor was admitted to Mumbai's Breach Candy Hospital two days ago in critical condition. He was on dialysis and died on Sunday of kidney failure.
Kapoor, one of Bollywood's Kapoor acting dynasty – his brothers Raj and Shashi were also successful actors, and his father, Prithviraj, was a theatre personality of the 1950s – was best known for his light-hearted roles.
Shammi Kapoor made his debut in Bollywood in 1953 and appeared in over 100 films including Junglee and Professor. He also appeared in "Brahmchari" and "Janwar."
He is survived by his wife, a son and a daughter.
