When he was asked about his film 'Brahmachari' and about working with Mumtaz, he said during a chat with Lehren Retro, 'At that time, I was a widower and Mumtaz was a very beautiful thing in that movie. For a short while, we both had dreams but then it turned into a nightmare. So, it's fine. I am happy as I am today.' Their romance was short lived but they had a deep impact on each other's lives. For those in the know, Shammi was married to Geeta Bali but she passed away in 1965.
After that, Shammi was dating Mumtaz.
In an interview with Rediff, Mumtaz admitted that Shammi Kapoor had proposed to her when she was just 17. But she turned down his proposal as women in the Kapoor family were expected to not act. She said, 'He wanted me to give up my career when I was just 17. I don't think anyone can give me the same amount of love that he showered on me. I never forgot him. Even today when his name is mentioned, tears well up in my eyes.
It was not a love affair, it was much more.
We loved each other deeply.'
She added further, 'Unfortunately, womenfolk in the Kapoor family did not work during those days. He had to respect his family's wishes, I had to respect my career. I had a family to support. I was being paid Rs 8 lakh even as a struggler. I was the highest paid actress of my time. As a child, when my mother asked whom I wanted to marry when I grow up, I'd say I wanted to marry the son of the Shahenshah of Iran. I wanted only the best in life.
'
Shammi went on to marry Neila Dev after that, while Mumtaz tied the knot with businessman Mayur Madhvani.

Archana Puran Singh's son Aaryamann fixes a virtual date with girlfriend Yogita Bihani, father Parmeet Sethi crashes it: ‘Kya zamana aagaya hai'
Actor Archana Puran Singh's son Aaryamann recently started a 30-day vlog challenge on his newly launched YouTube channel. In one of the vlogs, he revealed he is dating Vikram Vedha actress Yogita Bihani. Upon hitting the 100k subscribers mark just 23 days after starting his channel, Aaryamann created a special video. While he gathered his entire family to thank his viewers for subscribing to his channel and helping him achieve this milestone ahead of the release of his song, he expressed that he missed his girlfriend. In the vlog, he said, 'I am feeling a little sad because Yogita is not here. We will try to fix that. I have a virtual date planned with her after this.' The term 'virtual date' sounded odd to his father Parmeet Sethi, who quickly reacted, 'Yeh kuch nayi cheez suni maine abhi (This is something new).' A shy Aaryamann replied to his father, 'Keep up with the times dad.' Expressing his love for his son, Parmeet Sethi shared, 'Arey mera beta set hogaya guys, mai toh bada khush hu (My son has been settled, I am extremely happy).' Later, Parmeet crashed Aaryamann's virtual date and asked, 'What is this? Yeh kya ho raha hai? (What's happening)?' An annoyed Aaryamann said, 'My date has been crashed guys.' He then explains to his father, 'Yeh humara virtual date chal raha hai papa (This is our virtual date, Papa). Thank you for interrupting but we were just talking about you.' A seemingly confused Parmeet said, 'This is virtual date? Yeh kya zamana aagaya hai? (What has this generation come to?)' He then told his son, 'You should have met her in person. What do you even mean by virtual date?' ALSO READ | Kriti Sanon's skincare brand achieved Rs 400 crore in two years: 'Targeting at Rs 1,200 crore next' With Parmeet still around, Yogita said, 'Mere ghar mein bhi noodles bane hai (They have made noodles even at our place).' This surprised Parmeet, who said, 'Kya baat hai, itni tuning abhi se hi? Iski aaj tak toh humarein sath tuning ho nahi paa rahi. (Wow! You guys share a great tuning already. He still struggles to adjust with us.) We ask him to eat veggies, and he says, 'I need paneer'.' After Aaryamann shooed his dad away, he spoke about how Parmeet and Archana reacted to Yogita entering his life, 'Everybody were very sweet. They all loved Yogita. They already knew her as an actress. Mumma would often say, 'She is such nice actress. She does such great work. She is very hard working.' When I told her I am dating her, she was like, 'Tere sath hai woh? She is with you)'?' Archana was quite shocked. Yogita shared her side of the story, and said, 'When I told my mom about Aaryamann, she was like, 'Is he the same guy you messed with your hair in his music video?'' She even revealed that her father has recently subscribed to Aaryamann's YouTube channel and addresses him as Aary Ji. She shared, 'Papa told me, 'Dharmendra jaise vibe hai iss ladke ki thodi. Dharmendra jaise lagte hai yeh. If he does a little workout, he will start to look like Dharmendra.' I was like 'Yeah, Papa.' She added, 'At my place, people address Aary as Aary Ji.' A shy Aaryamann then ended his vlog by saying, 'I think our date ka time is up now because your brother would want his room back. And I respect that. Please don't occupy his room.' Yogita laughed and said, 'Mera pura khandaan pagal ho chuka hai (My entire family has gone crazy).'
