Anil Kapoor honoured Dilip Kumar for the place he has in the actor’s heart and the relationships the two families enjoyed. “One of our brightest stars has left us for the skies, so our world is a bit less brilliant today. Dilip Sahab was very close to my father, and I had the great privilege of working with him on three of my most memorable films…
For me, he was and always will be the best and most talented actor in our business… He has influenced several generations of artists. Dilip Sahab, may you rest in peace. “You will live on in our minds and hearts forever,” Kapoor wrote his post, which included several photos of him with Kumar.
