In the wake of it, Shashi was taken out of the boarding school.
- He drank alcohol.
- Shashi’s elder brother, Raj Kapoor gave him the nickname ‘Taxi’for different reasons. Whenever he was busy shooting, Shashi used to sleep in his car or a taxi.

Amitabh considers Shashi as the one director who cared for his actors and technicians alike.
- Sharing another anecdote, Shabana Azmi reveals that Shashi used to invest his money only in cinema and theatre and not other commercial businesses.She says, When we went to the Moscow Film Festival, with just eight dollars in foreign exchange, we were all strapped for cash. But despite the presence of bigwigs like FC Mehra and Raj Kapoor, Shashi Kapoor paid the bill.”
- Amitabh Bachchan is credited to saving Shashi’s life when Shashi was wheelchair-ridden because of a fractured leg. Kapoor was conducting a show at Shanmukhananda Hall in Mumbai when a fire broke out and he started crying out for help. It was Bachchan who came to his rescue to save his life.
- In 1978, he along with his wife re-opened Prithvi Theatre which was closed after the death of his father in 1972.
