"Main marke bhi maroonga nahi; tumhare andar zinda rahoonga" Dilip Kumar in Mashaal..

#RIPDilipKumarSahab an actor par excellence. A short thread honoring him.

He was quite a good singer. Check out this clip of him singing during an interview.
Though born as Mohammed Yusuf Khan - he took the name Dilip Kumar to avoid getting beaten by his father, who was strictly against films.
His father was friends with Basheshwarnath Kapoor, father of Prithwiraj Kapoor and would constantly berate him for his son's career in movies.
So when Dilip Kumar started working in films, he felt that his father will not be happy with his choice of work.
He was given 3 options - Yusuf Khan, Dilip Kumar and Basu Dev. He rejected Yusuf Khan and left the options to the others.
He saw his "name" in an ad 3 months later.
