In a congested lane of the famous Qissa Khwani Bazaar (market of storytellers) in Peshawar, Pakistan, stands a two-storey house where a boy was born on December 11, 1922. Named Muhammad Yusuf Khan, he would grow up to be recognised as the first Khan of Indian cinema – long before the other three Khans, Aamir, Shah Rukh and Salman, even appeared on the planet. We would know him as Dilip Kumar, the screen name he adopted on the advice of Devika Rani, the first lady of the Indian film industry. After a momentous cinematic journey and an eventful life that was no less than a film story in itself, Dilip Kumar breathed his last at 7.30 am on July 7, 2021 at Hinduja Hospital in Mumbai where he was admitted since June 30 after he complained of breathlessness. He was 98. He is survived by his wife, actor Saira Banu.
