The veteran movie star was last admitted to the hospital in 2017 after an attack of dehydration and respiratory issues. Known as the King of Tragedy , Dilip Kumar was described as “the ultimate method actor” by world-renowned filmmaker Satyajit Ray. He debuted as an actor in the film Jwar Bhata in 1944 produced by Bombay Talkies.
