Girish Karnad

Veteran actor Shekhar Suman fondly recalls his debut in the 1984 film 'Utsav', working alongside Rekha and Shashi Kapoor. He believes the ahead-of-its-time classic, with its stunning visuals and music, deserves a theatrical re-release. Suman also touched upon destiny and nepotism, crediting Kapoor's faith in him as a pivotal moment in his career.

Shekhar Suman revealed Rekha's deep admiration for Mumtaz, noting the iconic actress often mimics her style and mannerisms. Suman, who starred with Rekha in 'Utsav', also lamented the decline in diction among contemporary actors, contrasting it with legends like Dilip Kumar and Amitabh Bachchan. He recently garnered praise for his role in 'Heeramandi'.

Shekhar Suman has gone down memory lane, revisiting the extraordinary chain of events that led to his big break in Utsav—a film that not only paired him opposite Rekha but also cemented his lifelong gratitude towards Shashi Kapoor. Suman’s life changed when he landed in Mumbai and met Shashi Kapoor on a film set. What began as a casual interaction soon turned into an unimaginable opportunity.
