Yousuf Khan, known to the world as Dilip Kumar, was born on December 11, 1922, in Peshawar. He was the fifth child in a family of 13 children of Mohammad Sarwar Khan and his wife Ayesha Begum. Having a fair complexion, lustrous hair, expressive eyes and a sprightly nature, Yousuf was regarded as a very special child, and his grandmother rarely let him leave the house without smearing his forehead with kajal to ward off the evil-eye. Mohammad Sarwar Khan was a fruit merchant by profession, and in search of better prospects, he and his family migrated from Peshawar, first to Deolali and then to Bombay. Yousuf received his basic primary education from Anjuman-e-Islam High School, Byculla, Bombay, and after matriculation, he attended Wilson College. Unfortunately, he soon had to drop out in order to help his father run his fruit business, which was facing a downward trend and barely supporting the family’s deteriorating budget. ....
MUMBAI â If the word âKhanâ is associated with superstardom today, let it not be forgotten that the first and true-blue superstar with that name was Dilip Kumar, real name Mohammed Yusuf Khan.

Daily Times July 8, 2021 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. ....

1. Acting career For the record, Dilip Kumar quit acting in 1998. That was the year Yusuf saab as he was widely known to friends and fans alike last faced the camera for Umesh Mehra s Qila . If the actor was never seen on screen over the past two decades since its release, the rest of the film s primary cast including Rekha, Mukul Dev and Mamta Kulkarni have also all but vanished, and director Mehra stopped making films nearly two decades ago. Qila , an otherwise forgotten attempt, will continue to garner recall value because it was the last film of one of Bollywood s greatest. ....
