I GOT 9 OUT OF 10 . DILIP SAHIB IS NOT AN ACTOR, HE IS AN INSTITUTION.

dilip is legend for all asian,.

Irrespective of how much I know about him, no doubt he is an icon and living legend.

I don't understand Pakistan obsession with Dilip Kumar. I have all the respect for the man and agree that he is a brilliant actor but he has no association with Pakistan. He moved to India as million other moved between India and Pakistan. He is a proud Indian and good for him. I am sure he has received many Indian arts and civilian awards. I seriously don't see the logic of Pakistan awarding him, just because he was popular among our politicians they included him in the awards. Ridiculous. Let's say our PM likes SRK and we award him by saying that he has roots from Pakistan Peshawar.

I got 80%. Dilip Kumar has always been my favourite actor since many years. An outstanding magnetic personality and a great intellect. I wish him a very happy 94th Birthday and excellent health for many years to come.

Do i have to cos he was born in Pakistan.. A good actor no matter where he is from should enjoy equal respect regardless of his religion ,nationality ,,race or ethnicity...

He is great personality and great man born in flower city Peshawar Pakistan . Almighty Allah grant him good health and prompt recovery InshaAllah.

A great actor. I still enjoy his film "Naya Daur". A great film.

I have always enjoyed Dilip Kumar movies and till date I love the songs he has done in his movies. Long live Dilip Kumar Saab. Your fan

Dilip Kuamar was the grandest actor ever produced by south Asia just as Noor Jehan's voice has been ever the best and incomparable. Enjoy my short poem on him as such: Dilip kumar you're ever best In the east or in the west Incomparable in every way And on top you'll ever stay All people yes do understand You're grandest of the grand In Andaz and Aan and more Your acting stands on top and fore All beneath, you stand above Dilip kumar is one all love Far beyond for ever we see No one better than you will be You retired and missed by all Many a tears have to fall Dilip we wish you and your wife Longer than ever you live your life

DILIP is no match. He is the One and Only One - as a Man and a Man god.

A true legend. Incomparable.

Mughal-e-Azam of Hindostaan

The first question of the survey is absolutely wrong. Dilip Kumar was not a Pathan. He has Hindko/Punjabi roots. He belongs from Awan family of Peshawar. Awans of Peshwar are not Pathans. Either Awans speak Hindko or Punjabi, but they are definitely not Pathans. Just like Kapoors , Mr Dilip Kumar has a Non Pushtoon identity while living in Peshawar. Kindly revisit this information.

dalip kumar is dalip no one can match him

Thank you Don for this quiz... I scored around 65%. I am a great fan of legendry actor Dilip Saab.... On the occasion of his birth day, I wish him many many happy returns of the day... I cannot forget his films like, Deedar, Andaaz, Babul, MughleAzam, Kohinoor, Ganga Jamuna, Naya Daur, Azad, Aan, Leader, Madhumathi to name a few... The best combination was Dilip saab, Rafi saab and the greatest musician of all times Naushad saab will live in the hearts of millions and millions of people in our sub continent..

He's himself a university of acting.

@Adeel Saleem educate yourself and you could improve.

Dilip Saheb is a living legend.

@Saad very immature comments. Dilip is an artisit viewed and liked by generations of Pakistanis. It could be that PM is one of such Pakistani. His respect , love and affection in Pakistan has nothing to do with Peshawar or India.

@Saad India and Pakistan has more ties with each other than other countries.

@Saad It should be sad, no Saad. Nothing personal

Got 80% and yes I am a hard core Dilipian. May Allah shower his countless blessings on Dilip Sahab.

Irrespective of the fact that Dilip Kumar is from India or Pakistan, .. He renowned actor plus an oversize top figure of sub-continent for over a past half century... People may not erase memory of an iconic Dilip Kumar...

@Saad you have no idea who he is. Dilip Kumar is not an Indian. He belongs to the world.

baap re.... itne mushkil question pucche hai...itne main to mera history ka paper clear ho jaata.fir bhi 4 shi jwaab to de hi dye. aage se thode easy swaal pucchna. okkk.

@AWAN Great Information. I have many Hindko speaking friends in Peshawar who always identify themselves as Pathans regardless of their caste. Even Shahrukh and Dillip called themselves pathans on many stages. Thank you.

Dilip Kumar was one the superstars.He along with shashi kapoor,rajesh khanna,shammi kapoor,dharmedra were legends before big b sank all.Get well soon sir.we love you

May God Bless Dilip ji with many more Healthy and Happy years!

Happy Birthday to a legend of all times Farina The uncrowned king

Incredible Actor. Thank you Mr. Khan for such great work.

@Saad Funkar ki koi citizenship nahi hoti hai. He belonged to sub-cont although he lived in India. Same thing with Mehendi Hassan. We need to grow up and recognize their immense contribution to our lives.

Translate all his films in English and show them to the western world> They will die laughing. Indian Movies in his days were pathetic and most of them still are trying to ape western ways.

dilip kumar great star pak-hind

DILIP KUMAR IS THE GRATE PERSONALTY

What a got given acting talent.

As far as acting is concerned I am confident that NO body can even touch his glory. His passion and 'emotional' acting is just beyond words. I grew up watching his films and his impact on the Indian youth is/was immense. So many times even our school principle will book the entire hall to show his picture to the entire mass of the school. He was/is apolitical though he was a personal friend of Nehru and other high in the Indian cabinet. Mrs. Gandhi spoke so high of him and was keen to listen his opinion when she was the broadcasting minister. May god bless him and a very healthy return home. He must hit a century in the least.

We must develop a trait to appreciate the best like Dilip Kumar. By getting the chance to appreciate him I am feeling honoured

Sorry, I know so little about Dilip Kumar.

He was unmatched at 24 and he is unmatched at 94. That is what Dilip Kumar is. I wish him a centurian of his age. May Allah Pak bless him. He played Amitabh's father in "SHAKTI" in true life too he is like Amitabh's father in respect of acting profession. I am sure Amitabh too accepts this fact.

Pretty good

@Saad I MAY ADD FOR YOUR INFORMATION THAT DILIP KUMAR DID NOT MOVE TO INDIA. PESHAWAR WAS INDIA IN THOSE DAYS. SO DILIP KUMAR ONLY CHANGED CITIES. HE MOVED TO BOMBAY AND MADE HIS PERMANENT RESIDENCE THERE. OF COURSE YOU DO KNOW THAT NOORJAHAN LIVED IN BOMBAY AND MADE HER NAME AS AN ARTISTE OF HER OWN GRADE. BUT SHE LATER MOVED TO LAHORE WITH HER PRODUCER DIRECTOR HUSBAND SHOWKAT HUSSAIN RIZVI. SO WHAT DIFFERENCE YOU FIND IF ANY TALENTED PERSONALITY LIVES IN INDIA, PAKISTAN OR ANY OTHER COUTRY AND IS LIKED, LOVED AND ADMIRED BY OTHERS??!!

90%

He is a notable personality in the world, many learning actors seeks his legendary acting in their career.

though i am not a cinema goer,neither interested in movies but the name Dilip kumar was as if he was a near relative of my family. when i was a kid i heard a lot about this legendary actor, from my father and uncles. i saw about three movies in india with my uncle. by which i was so much impressed that was compelled to say that'' MR. DILIP KUMAR IS THE UNCROWNED KING OF INDOPAK FILM INDUSTRY ''. I very sincerely hope and pray for live of over a hundred years of full strength and happiness.

Dilip Kumar is immortal, nobody has been like him or can ever be like him. And so has been his romance with Madhubala the beauty of all times, ending in such a tragedy. My only wish is may the love for this great actor, bring the Indians & the Pakistanis together, who actually belonged to the same country, but alas have come to this position, because of the politicians & their politics. Why can't we go beyond the politicians to the beautiful world of such legendary actors & music, common to us both?

I know very well he was born in Peshawar now in Pakistan and later on went to work in Pune. He worked with Devka Rani first never worked with Soraya,parted away Madhubala after MughleAzam .worked with Amitabh Bachan in Shakti and with Noor Jehan in Jugnu ,Married to Saira Banu ,has no children ,His first movie was Jawar bhata ,He received Nishane Pakistan by Pak government ,was Sherriff of Bombay for some time,his real name is Youssef Khan,he won 7 film fare awards.

Life within his character and action.I feel proud,because he belongs to the roots of peshawar,from where i belong. what a coincidence,that same land produced kapoors for film industry.SRK + Aanil kapoor families belongs to same area.

9 out of 10! I am happy to hve known the legend well! May God Bless Dilip ji with Many more years of Happy and Healthy life!

@Saad Mate you couldn't be more wrong. I belong to the Yousaf Khan's family in Pakistan and belive you me he loves Pakistan as much as he loves India. His association to Pakistan is his family and root that are still in Peshawar. Also he didn't move to India, he was living in Pune and then Bombay at the time of partition. He has established himself there, he just didn't move back. It is not easy to give up all that you have worked for in a blink of an eye and move to a place where you no longer have any foundation to stand on. I think i would have done the same if I was in his shoes.

@Saad this is something you will feel when your friend and next neighbour and your best friend suddenly fly away some where far , you will miss him and you too. Later you changed your country and he his ,by taking citizenship ....and then one day you meet . How will you express your emotions? Humanity is bigger than Nation, nation is greater than religion but problem with violence rooted muslim is that they think opposite. I am not blaming it for you but making you think if there is same fire at many different places then simply cause is one. Use your own brain not others thought or what they .This is my only request...please do not argue , just take it or leave it. Thanks ! May God give you everything you really need.

I wish Yousuf Khan live long and Allah keep him sound and healthy. Thanks.

HE DISPLAYED THE FINEST HUMAN VALUE IN ALL HIS ROLLS.

Icon born one in century , Dilip Kumar real name Yusuf Khan fm Peshawar , chosen for JAWAR BHATA fim with Devika Rani as heroin an Icon of her time, worked with Noor Jahan in Jugnu, then there was looking back every of his films he gets acting award FILM FAIR was at that time. Best actor ever produced. Mehboob Khan 's favourit hero, but refused to work as NARGIS son in MOTHER INDIA (life time mistake) which made sunil dutt father sanjay to become Hero of par excellence like Raj Kumar duplicate of Dilip, and Majoj Kumar's Idol is Dilip K.

Dilip Kumar used to drenched into the color of his character. Too bad that SAGINA MAHATO was not mentioned in the quiz (8/10), was a Dilip/Saira production, & in my opinion, is a class of its own. The couple's youthfulness( His running with a train & Sala main tau- song) & Saira's own personality is remarkable. In one of the interviews, He said that the culture is like a plant, which has to be continually cared for (Lagaana & seenchna). He worked with Bimal Roy were excellent. He is a good Indian & God bless his family.

DILIPKUMAR IS VERY NICE ACTOR.

I cannot forget his films like, Deedar, Andaaz, Babul, MughleAzam, Kohinoor, Ganga Jamuna, Naya Daur, Azad, Aan, Leader, Madhumathi to name a few... The best combination was Dilip saab, Rafi saab and the greatest musician of all times Naushad saab will live in the hearts of millions and millions of people in our sub continent..

I SCORED 100 OUT OF 100

The exercise is good. But can Pakistan TV channel show a movie of Dilip Saab ???

A remarkable carrier in the film industry spread over half a century during which Dilip Kumar touched all heights of the profession. He was the ultimate in acting creating a brand of his own. He was the source of joy and entertainment for millions of moviegoers. Dilip Kumar will continue to inspire the film artists of all ages. May he live long.

His command on Urdu language, delivery of dialogues and soft appearance reminds me of my childhood (now 79 years old)- especially films like Deedar, Mela, Andaz, MughaleAzam etc. In fact I never missed any of his films. Besides he always has been reported as a 'DEV' off the stage also. Such human beings are simply called 'LEGENDS', OR ROLE-MODELS'; PLUS i LIKED TO COPY HIS HAIR STYLE!

@Saad Ever heard a promonent peraon being awarded "freedom of the city! in another country? If not, please do some research rather than being petty minded.

Got, even though not a Dilip fan. 90-100% 830 people

Great personality a nice human being, legendary artist of the century !

I don't consider myself to be an expert on DK but was and will remain his die hard fan as he is a legend to be followed, an institution to be enrolled and a text to be read and re-read. He is a man which has given a society a social ethics and the industry the real entertainment value, a philanthropist who has given a lesson to the rich, that to die rich is a disgrace if you have not fulfill the needs of others and taught the greedy of name and fame to detest it as it is purely a divine reward which is bestowed on one whose intentions are pure and whose efforts are sincere. DK has taught from the screen the art of voice control, sense of dressing ,mannerism, modulation and above all how to be a good human who can serve the humanity irrespective of caste, creed, religion, culture and civilization.

dilip kumar is the greatest actor of all-time. srk & big b said that. because only actors know acting. fans don't know acting. fans support their favourite actor. but the actors know real acting. satyajit roy is one of the greatest actor of all-time in the whole world. world famous director akira kurosaua said," if you live in this world & didn't watch satyajit roy films, you have never seen the sun & the moon." so the all legends consider him as the greatest. but yes, media and journalists and also the fans support big b. but the people who understand acting know the real thing.

Amazing 9 correct answer out of 10. Dilip Kumar,popularly call the tragedy king. He considerd one of greatest actors of Indian cinema. A true and biggest legend of Indian film industry.

I scored 80% and felt ashamed. I should have known all about the Great Dilip Kumar sahab. A wonderful actor, orator and a wonderful person indeed.

he is the legend, an icon. he is the man of principal. when he speaks one wants to listen him.
