The Shehenshah star poured his heart out in his blog after the demise of his co-actor Shashi Kapoor. In his blog, is a heartbreaking story of how much he admired the actor and could not visit him during his stay in at the hospital. 

Bachchan wrote, "He had been ailing .. somewhere he had let himself go after the passing away of his dear wife Jennifer .. I had visited him on occasion in Hospital during some of the times he had been hospitalised earlier .. but I never went to see him again .. I would never have .. I never ever wanted to see this beautiful friend and ‘samdhi’ in the state I saw him in hospital....…. and I did not today, when they informed me that he had gone.” 

The actor goes on to write about how he even copied his hairstyle and behaviour.

“The next .. was his semi curly hair on head, falling carelessly over his forehead and ears, not quite covering it .. and my upper story mumbled again :hey ! maybe you should think of covering your ears as well ..’ … and off I went to Hakim the hair dresser at Taj Hotel with my plan .. and executed, it remained till date,” he wrote on his blog.

He also expressed how he could not bear to see him after he "let himself go after the passing away of his dear wife Jennifer.” After prolonged illness and kidney ailment, Shashi Kapoor passed away on Monday at Mumbai’s Kokilaben hospital at the age of 79. Bachchan touched on this aspect in his blog, writing how tough he found seeing Kapoor as a man dealing with multiple health problems. 

“The words of the ‘sher’ at the opening came to me minutes after Rumi Jafri, eminent writer in our film industry, sent them to me on learning of his death ..’how long could I have preserved this exquisite and expensive book of life ; the pages of the book were damaged ..’ He fondly addressed me as ‘babbua’ .. and with him have gone many incredible unread chapters of his and my life,” he further wrote.

Shashi Kapoor!' was what one heard as he extended a warm soft hand out to you in introduction ; that devastating smile complimenting the twinkle in his eyes. He needn’t have done so. Every one knew him. But this was his infectious humble self. When he spoke, there was a mischievous, gentle, almost inaudible, delicate, yodel, in his voice - most endearing and comforting to the one he was introduced to. The self introduction habit, was a gem," wrote Bachchan.
