Dilip Kumar had deep connection with Peshawar July 8, 2021 PESHAWAR: Indian legend star Dilip Kumar was born on Dec 11, 1922 in the Khudadad Mohallah, on the backside of Qissa Khwani Bazaar of Peshawar in the house of Lala Ghulam Sarwar. His father moved to Mumbai with his family in 1935 for business. Ghulam Sarwar was a fruit merchant and belonged to the Awan family of Peshawar. He studied from Anjuman-e-Hamaat-ul-Islam Madrassa in Peshawar which is now known as Government Middle School Mohalla Khudadad. Dilip Kumar first came to Peshawar in 1988 and visited his house once and kissed the soil. During the ANP tenure, the government decided to buy Dilip Kumar's house but the decision was not implemented. However, the PTI's Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government decided to turn the house of great Indian film actor Yousaf Khan into a museum in 2020 under which the value of land and house wreckage was determined.
