Bollywood’s legendary actor Dilip Kumar passed away on Wednesday in Mumbai. The actor was 98. He was facing age-related complications for some time and was hospitalised in Mumbai following episodes of breathlessness.
Kumar, known to generations of film-goers as ‘tragedy king’, had been admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) of the Hinduja Hospital, a non-COVID-19 facility, since Tuesday.
“He passed away due to prolonged illness at 7.30 am,” Dr Jalil Parkar, who had been treating Kumar, told PTI.
“With a heavy heart and profound grief, I announce the passing away of our beloved Dilip Saab, a few minutes ago. We are from God and to Him, we return,” family friend Faisal Farooqui posted from the actor’s Twitter handle.
