From our Archives:It was truly a great honor for us to have Mrs. Neila Kapoor grace us at Voice of Indus.It was around this time, some years ago, when Shammi Kapoor Sahaab left us all....but for Mrs.Kapoor, each and every moment, each day is of remembrance .....

The conversation is all about relations, and how beautifully we can nurture them- and Mrs.Kapoor is a living example of it all...a person who stood by her husband, bound the family together...in this fast paced world, she stands out with all grace and love.

So, when she married Shammi Kapoor sahaab, he was already a father of two small children...how did she just go on to being mother and wife, supporting him and their children...so gracefully....
