Veteran actor Dilip Kumar is well known for his contribution to the film industry. He has worked in films like Naya Daur, Ram Aur Shyam and Azaad among others. Dilip, who has earlier received many awards for his art of work, on Tuesday, felicitated with a Living Legend Lifetime Award from the Punjab Association. As Dilip Kumar is not well, the officials chose to visit him at his residence in Mumbai to hand over the award. After receiving such an honour, an elated Dilip took to his twitter and expressed his happiness.
Sharing his excitement, he wrote: “Mr. Ranbir Singh Chandok and Mr. Anand of the Punjab Association visited me today. God is kind. Humbled at receiving the Living Legend Lifetime Award from Punjab Association this afternoon,”.

The post was accompanied by photographs in which Dilip Kumar — looking frail but in good spirit — could be seen posing with the plaque. Also seen in the pictures is his wife and actress Saira Banu and the officials who felicitated the actor. Let’s take a look at the picture here.
Earlier this month, there was buzz that Dilip Kumar’s health was not up to the mark. Regarding that, he commented: “God’s grace and your prayers with me. I am much better. Slight discomfort and an irritating back pain.”

Last seen on the big screen in Qila in 1998, the actor was honoured with the Dadasaheb Phalke Award in 1994 and the Padma Vibhushan in 2015.
He is also known for films like Devdas, Mughal-e-Azam and Karma.
