Yesterday, we lost a legend of Indian Cinema, Dilip Kumar. The 98-year-old star was loved by many. However, not just in India; but the loss of this legend was mourned across Pakistan, as well. Twitter was filled with condolences and images of candles and prayers being offered by Pakistani fans.
A purist par excellence. A man who will continue to inspire generations to come. A human being so sophisticated and refined that chapters could be written on the cadence of each line he spoke. End of an era that will nonetheless remain timeless. #DilipKumar #RestInPeace pic.twitter.com/UOczeoOl92

Saddened to learn of Dilip Kumar’s passing. I can never forget his generosity in giving his time to help raise funds for SKMTH when project launched. This is the most difficult time – to raise first 10% of the funds & his appearance in Pak & London helped raise huge amounts.

In 1998, the Pakistan government honoured Dilip Kumar with the ‘Nishan-e-Imtiaz’ award. It is considered Pakistan’s highest civilian award.
Sad day, legend Dlip Kumar left this world. He was a man with golden heart. He always admired Pakistan and our legend Imran Khan. Words of Bollywood Legend Dilip Kumar for Imran Khan Pakistan https://t.co/Vx57xxy4pe via @YouTube
