He had been ill for months with prostate cancer. He was admitted to the hospital on the 30th of June due to reported difficulty in breathing. His burial took place in Juhu Qabrastan, Mumbai, India. Playing the roles of the heartthrob romantic chap to an endearing hero, his cinematic role spanned around six decades. He worked in 65 Bollywood films. Dilip Kumar has been survived by his life-long partner Saira Banu, who had been a Bollywood actress herself. The couple, however, had no children. Let us discover the life of Dilip Kumar in and out of reel in this article: Dilip Kumar’s Early Childhood & Adulthood Dilip Kumar, originally named Muhammad Yousaf Khan, was born in Peshawar, then British India and now Pakistan, on December 11, 1922. His father, Lala Ghulam Sarwar was a landlord as well as a fruit merchant and he had 11 other siblings. He received his early education from a renowned school in Deolali. His family relocated to Mumbai in the 1930s in search of a better future and he himself afterward relocated to Pune in 1940s, where he started off working as a canteen waiter as well as sold dry fruits part-time to supplement his income. Dilip Kumar’s Film Career Dilip Kumar’s life took a huge turn when he met actress Devika Rani and her husband, Himanshu Rai in 1943. Rai was then the owner of Bombay Talkies and Dilip was selected by the husband-wife duo for a maiden lead role in ‘Jwar Bhata’. The film was released in 1944 and by then he was given the screen name of Dilip Kumar. He was famously known as Tragedy Actor in Indian cinema history and ruled it with full grace and zeal. His natural-inspired acting won the hearts of millions of fans and showed his versatile skill by playing a number of iconic roles. His first major hit was Jugnu, released in 1947 in which he starred against Noor Jehan and Shashikala. The Tragedy King of Indian Cinema After the huge success of Jugnu, he was flooded with a number of offers and starred in several movies, with famous ones including Shaheed, Mela, Anokha Pyar, and Andaz. In Andaz, he co-starred against Raj Kapoor and Nargis, which was then all-time biggest hit in the Indian Film Industry. His Tragic style made him even a huge success in the 50s era, where he played iconic roles in Jogan, Deedar, and Daag. His famous hit movies in that era included Devdas and Naya Dour. In the 60s era, his role in Kohinoor as Yuvraj Rana Devendra Bahadur won him the Best Filmfare Actor Award. Other famous hits of the 60s included Gunga Jumna, Dil Diya Dard Liya, Ram Aur Shyam, and Aadmi. However, the 60s era did not turn out to be as successful as the preceding ones for Dilip in his cinematic history. The 70s era further flattened his popularity due to the arrival and stardom of various new actors within the Indian Cinema Industry. In &0s, his appearance remained limited to Gopi, Sajina and Bairaag only, However, they failed to deliver the stardom he was once bestowed with and failed miserably at Box Office. Surprisingly, Dilip Kumar made a strong comeback in the 1980s, with a super hit film of Kranti where he starred against huge stardom consisting of Hema Malini, Prem Chopra, Shashi Kapoor, Shatrughan Sinha, and Paintal. Later on, he confided to roles that matched his age and were mostly of an elder in nature. His last film in his career was playing a dual role in Qila back in 1998.
