Veteran actor Dilip Kumar passed away at the age of 98 this morning, leaving behind a legacy of films that spanned six decades. This afternoon, the legendary actor's last rites took place with full state honours.
Countless fans mourned the loss of Dilip Ji today. In a heartfelt gesture, several fans of the legendary actor travelled from Rajasthan to Mumbai and bid adieu to their favourite star by singing together. A group of fans, including women and children, reached Mumbai from Rajasthan and paid a musical tribute to him. They can be heard singing Dil Diya Hai Jaan Bhi Denge from his 1986 movie Karma.
For the unversed, Dilip Kumar was admitted to the hospital after experiencing breathlessness on June 30. On June 6, Dilip Kumar was hospitalized after a similar complaint. The actor was then diagnosed with bilateral pleural effusion -- a build-up of excess fluid between the layers of the pleura outside the lungs and underwent a successful pleural aspiration procedure. He was discharged after five days.
However, this morning, the actor breathed his last at Hinduja Hospital, Mumbai.
