Words Like Icon Are Very Less For Dilip Kumar: SRK

Shah Rukh Khan says that he has admired Dilip Kumar all his life and he considers the veteran actor to be the pillar of strength for the film fraternity. SRK says that tags like “icon” aren’t enough to honour the 93-year-old actor. The legendary actor has been recently presented with Padma Vibhushan by Union Home minister Ranjnath Singh at his home, in the presence of his wife Saira Banu. According to SRK, it is a moment of big celebration.

“Dilip sahab is more deserving than anybody else. Even words like 'icon' are very less for him. He is the forefather, the pillar of the film industry... Amongst the last few pillars left. I think what he has received is huge”, Shah Rukh told PTI.

“No matter how many awards he gets, it will be less for him because of his art, beauty, Saira ji's support. He is one of the greatest human beings apart from being the actor. I know them personally so I can say that. It's a moment of big celebration”, he added.
