Bollywood veteran Jackie Shroff took to social media to honor the legendary Dilip Kumar on his birth anniversary, sharing a touching video tribute with the simple caption: "Remembering Dilip Kumar ji on his Birth Anniversary #DilipKumar."
The 33-second montage features iconic black-and-white clips of Kumar’s career, highlighting his unforgettable tragic roles. Overlaid with the words “Always in our hearts!”, the video celebrates the timeless impact of Kumar’s emotive performances that have inspired generations of actors.
Shroff’s tribute also reflects their collaboration in the 1986 Subhash Ghai-directed thriller Karma. At the time, Shroff was an emerging star, and he later recalled Kumar’s guidance on set as a formative, paternal influence in his own acting journey.
Dilip Kumar’s legacy as Indian cinema’s pioneering method actor continues to resonate, with classic films like Devdas and Mughal-e-Azam serving as enduring testaments to his craft. His nuanced portrayals set a benchmark for generations of performers in Bollywood and beyond.
Through the heartfelt social media homage, Jackie Shroff not only remembers a mentor and co-star but also reminds fans why Dilip Kumar remains an irreplaceable icon of Indian cinema.
