His association with the Internet in India is a surprise to us - We didn't know this. And, I have not watched any movies acted by him - Should see at least one! But I heard that he was a great actor - May his soul rest in peace.

He was one of my favorite stars, and as you pointed it out both Rafi and Shammi were made for each other. They created such magic.One can never get bored listening to their songs.
