Balbir Raj Kapoor (born 18 March 1938), AKA "Shashilicious". The [[{{Bishonen}} most sought-after heartthrob in 70s India]] and the youngest brother of the great Creator/RajKapoor. Made headlines when he married an English woman (who costarred with him in a few movies before her tragic death), and was known to do Shakespeare. After her death, he slid into alcoholism and stopped taking care of his health, with a predictable effect on his appearance. He faded away from the cinema scene after the mid 80s, owing to his age, health issues, and the fact that he wanted to spend more time in theatre as opposed to cinema.

* MrFanservice
* ThoseTwoActors: In many of his films, he was one half of a heroic pair, and while he did this with many co-stars, his most frequent co-star was Creator/AmitabhBachchan, to the point that they were given the PortmanteauCoupleName "Shashitabh", which included all the HoYay that it implies.
