He said in the video, “Shri Prithviraj Kapoor Sahib`s lane in Matunga, where he used to live, there was a Pani Puri wala in that lane. I’ll tell you the story of Shammi Kapoor today. Shammi uncle, whenever he came to Matunga, we all had a great time. The Pani Puri vendor would come upstairs, he would come to the flat in Matunga, carrying his puri container, tucking his stand to the side, he would set up his entire cart outside our flat, and start selling his Pani Puri. One plate after another would start coming, and we didn`t even have to pay. The plates that used to be there, the Pani Puri vendor`s plate had 5 or 6 puris. Shammi uncle’s plate was about 20 puris, and everyone`s plates at that time were 20 puris, not just his, and we would eat two plates each”.
