Mumbai, July 7, 2021: Dilip Kumar, India's acting icon, has died on Wednesday (July 7) morning at a Mumbai hospital after a prolonged illness. Aged 98, Dilip Kumar was credited with bringing the method style into Hindi cinema and was widely known as the "Tragedy King".

Dilip Kumar started his acting career with Jwar Bhata in 1944 and acted in 62 films in a career that spanned over five decades. Starring in some of the all-time classic films, Kumar is widely regarded as the finest actor India has ever produced. Some of his best-known films include Aan, Daag, Devdas, Madhumati, Azaad, Mughal-e-Azam, Gunga Jamuna, Kranti, Karma, and Ram Aur Shyam.



The legendary actor was awarded the inaugural Filmfare Award for best actor in 1954 for the film "Daag" - a romantic drama film produced and directed by Amiya Chakravarty. In his career, Dilip Kumar won 8 Filmfare awards and is tied with Shah Rukh Khan for most wins.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi remembered the cinematic legend -

Dilip Kumar Ji will be remembered as a cinematic legend. He was blessed with unparalleled brilliance, due to which audiences across generations were enthralled. His passing away is a loss to our cultural world. Condolences to his family, friends and innumerable admirers. RIP.

Dilip Kumar Saab ♥️

The power of his being lies in his unmatchable body of work. Every time I have watched him portray legendary characters I felt like I was being swept away and yet being educated. Educated by his nuances, his silences, his unparalleled depth and his sheer aura pic.twitter.com/og2NTSSPqv
