In my humble assessment, Dilip Kumar’s acting career spans three phases.
First span is when he was young hero in Black and White days. Second phase was when he was taken as a hero but by then he had converted from youthful looks to mature looks but his roles mostly remained romantic ones. Films were made in colour by then. Third phase was when he did some character roles. I constructed my earlier article on his personal struggle and movies up to 1956; Jugnu, Footpath, Andaz, Tarana, ‘Sangdil’ etc. Earlier he acted in Jwar Bhaata directed by Amiya Chakarvarti, Pratima, Milan directed by Nitin Bose, Ghar Ki Izzat, Shaheed directed by Ramesh Sehgal, Mela directed by SU Sunny, Anokha Pyar (1948), Nadiya Kei Paar directed by Kishore Sahu and Shabnam directed by B Mitra.

On December 11, 2020, Yusuf Khan alias Dilip Kumar will be 98 – two short of a unique century. Perhaps the only Hindi movie star to have achieved this landmark, not only as an actor but in his later professional life, as producer and director of films. His popularity has transcended the limits of the Indian subcontinent radiating to all corners of the world.
My family had a special relationship with the renowned actor and hence this personal recollection.
