'Barkhurdar, chalo chalte hain': When Dilip Kumar shared stage with Jawaharlal Nehru in Mumbai's Chowpatty | Mumbai News

Jawaharlal Nehru shaking hands with Dilip Kumar
MUMBAI: In the early 1960s Dilip Kumar shared a stage with Jawaharlal Nehru at a public meeting at Chowpatty.
After Dilip saab, as he was fondly called, passionately spoke in ornate Urdu, the crowd began to melt, forcing Nehru to joke with Kumar: “Barkhurdar, chalo chalte hain (dear, let us go).”
But the thespian rose again, reprimanding the crowd that their PM was yet to speak and they should not leave unless “Panditji” (Nehru) finished his speech. The gathering froze in silence.
That was the power of oratory Dilip Kumar commanded. Asif Farooqui, Bandra-based businessman and a close family friend of Kumar and his wife Saira Bano, to whom the actor once narrated the Chowpatty incident, recalls that Kumar genuinely loved Urdu, patronized poets and mushairas and participated in social works.

Dilip Kumar birthday special: FPJ writer recounts his rendezvous with the thespian

Yusuf sahab (Dilip Kumar, no one calls him Dilip Kumar in Pakistan) se milna filmi tawareekh ke auraaq ko palatne ki maanind hai.â (Meeting Yusuf sahab is like flipping through the pages of film history), tellingly told me a Pakistani film-journalist friend of mine, Nisar Ahmad. So very true.
Having met Dilip Kumar a few times at Turf Club, Poona and interviewed him for Indian and Pakistani Urdu and Pashto dailies, I daresay, the man is an institution and a treasure-trove of cinematic as well as worldly wisdom. I first met him in 2002. I got an assignment from a Pashto daily in Peshawar to interview him. I told him in Pashto that I frequently visited Pakistan to teach Quraâan and Islamic Theology and that Persian was my mother tongue. Having heard my Pashto, he was surprised beyond words.
