Talking about romantic pairing in Hindi films, Nanda – Shashi Kapoor pairing is probably the most attractive pair in the 60s. It is interesting to note their career graphs. Both of them started off in the films as child artists. Nanda’s father, Master Vinayak, passed away when she was just 8 years old. She was obliged to start working in films as a child artist, Baby Nanda, due to financial difficulties at home. On the other hand, as a child, Shashi was part of the already famous Kapoor clan, and the youngest son of Prithviraj Kapoor. And with all his family seniors in the cine business, it was only natural that followed their footsteps. He too appeared in many films as a child artist.

The saga of Hindi films will never be complete without the discussion of the “formula” that used to be, and continues to be, followed by the production banners. More often than not, once a film became a hit, and brought profits for the producers, generally there used to be a spate of new productions trying to imitate the theme, the storyline, and the main attractive ingredients of that successful film, in an effort to duplicate that success. Over a period of time, such duplications would get refined into a list of specific ingredients that should be part of a film production strategy.
