Mumbai: Veteran actor Dilip Kumar's 90th birthday Tuesday will be
celebrated in Pakistan's Khyber Pakhtoonkhwa province where he was
born before he migrated to India.
The Cultural Heritage Council (CHC) of Khyper Pakhtoonkhwa will
mark the occasion in Peshawar, an Indian peace activist said here
Sunday.
"The CHC has decided to celebrate the 90th birthday of the
legendary actor for the first time ever," Jatin Desai told IANS.
He said CHC had invited prominent personalities including film
personalities, journalists, lawyers, peaceniks and commoners to
celebrate the birthday of Dilip Kumar a.k.a. Mohammed Yusuf Khan.
Ironically, Dilip Kumar will not celebrate his birthday in Mumbai
as he is still grieving the death of several prominent
personalities in the past few months.
These include former union minister N.K.P. Salve, filmmaker Yash Chopra, Rajesh Khanna, Dara Singh and
others.
On his 89th birthday last year, he had a mega bash at his Pali
Hill residence that attracted, among others, Yash Chopra and
Rajesh Khanna.
In July, a public effort was initiated to conserve Dilip Kumar's
ancestral home, now in a dilapidated condition in Peshawar.
It was launched by civil society groups in Pakistan and Bangladesh
and other organisations.
The Khyber Pakhtoonkhwa administration recently planned to acquire
the ancestral homes of Dilip Kumar and another Indian legend, Raj
Kapoor, and preserve them as national heritage monuments.
Locals have urged the authorities to rename certain parts of
Peshawar after Dilip Kumar and Raj Kapoor.
