RIP Dilip Kumar: Ayushmann, Sushmita Sen, Salman & others remember the legend with heartfelt posts

It is a sad day for our country and the Bollywood industry as a gem, a legend has bid his final adieu. Dilip Kumar sahab, fondly known as the ‘Tragedy King’, was not only an actor but a magician. He created magic on-screen and left the audiences wanting more with his soulful performances and passionate expressions. The superstar, who was admitted to Hinduja Hospital last week due to age-related problems, breathed his last today. Ever since the heartbreaking news was shared on his official handle, fans and celebrities from all over the country have been showering social media with special messages and throwback pictures of the evergreen actor, paying tribute to him.

Ayushmann Khurrana revealed that his grandmother was very fond of Dilip sahab. He shared, “She impersonated him in her 60s. She used to secretly take her sons for his films screenings, because my grandfather detested cinema. Because of this strong influence, my father has been an ardent worshipper of him since his infanthood. In our household Dilip kumar is no less than God. Acting की शुरुआत तो उन्ही से हुई थी। Be it comedy, tragedy or romance, he mastered every emotion and being a linguist he presented a perfect proto of a superstar. Thank you for everything Yusuf Saab. #ripdilipkumar.”

Amitabh Bachchan, on the other hand, shared a heartbreaking note which read: “My idol Dilip Saheb .. lost .. never before never after .. “an epic era has drawn curtains .. never to happen again” Peace and duas ..” Sushmita Sen also remembered the legend with a post. She wrote: “A glorious life & a celebrated human being. Rest in peace Sir. Respect & Love for an Era called Shri Dilip kumar. Our prayers & strength for Saira ji. #Godspeed #duggadugga.”

He may be gone, but he will continue to live in our hearts forever. Which film will you remember Dilip Kumar sahab by?
