Shashi Kapoor's most iconic film was Deewar and his nonchalant response of ' mere paas maa hai' to Amitabh Bachchan won over people's hearts.

Shashi Kapoor dialogue of 'Bhai tum sign karoge ya nahi' was yet another of iconic dialogue from the film Deewar.

Another Deewar dialogue makes it to the list, 'Jab tak ek bhai bol raha hai, ek bhai sun raha hai ... jab ek mujrim bolega, ek police officer sunega'.

'Aaisi choti aur ghatiya baat karke aap hamare samne chote aur ghatiya nazar aane lage hai', thundered Shashi Kapoor in Namak Halal.

Shashi Kapoor's dialogue in Ek Aur Ek Gyarah is practical and applies to all of us, 'Apna toh ek hi usool hai ... jeeyo toh apne liye, socho toh doosron ke liye'.

Shashi Kapoor played Rakhee's first husband in Kabhie Kabhie and his dialogue melted our hearts, 'Main zara romantic kisam ka aadmi hoon ... shaadi ke baad ishq karna toh chhod diya hai ... is liye biwi se romance karke kaam chala leta hoon'.

Shashi Kapoor, the 'Charmer' played the role of a spoilt brat and his dialogue, 'Lagta hai tumhara napaak khoon mere hi haathon hona likha hai', has made it to a lot of memes.

Shashi Kapoor had a wonderful dialogue for the nationalistic souls in Roti, Kapda Aur Makaan, 'Yeh mat socho ke desh tumhe kya deta hai ... socho yeh ke tum desh ko kya de sakte ho'.

Shashi Kapoor who romanced Rakhee in Sharmilee had this wonderful dialogue to say, 'Gulshan parast hoon mujhe gul hi nahi aziz ... kaanto se bhi nibah kiye ja raha hoon main'.

Shashi Kapoor romanced Jaya Bachchan in Silsila and a wonderful, soul-stirring dialogue in the film, 'Hum gayab hone waalo mein se nahi hai ... jahan jahan se guzharte hai jalwe dikhate hai ... dost toh kya, dushman bhi yaad rakhte hai'.
