I have worked for the poor, I have worked for many years to bridge the cultural and communal gaps between India and Pakistan. Politics and religion have created these boundaries. I have striven to bring the two people together in whatever way I could. Tell me, what does any of this have to do with the Kargil conflict?"[17] [edit]Personal life Kumar married actress and beauty queen Saira Banu in year 1966 when he was aged 44 and she was 22.

Some incredible tweets even mistakenly spread news of his death.[19] Later Dilip Kumar's wife Saira Banu, made a public statement that the actor is good in health and in high spirits. She quoted in a public statement: " "I am releasing this statement with a tinge of displeasure because this is not the first time such a rumour has spread without any basis, reason or cause. I have been woken up from sleep at odd hours this time and on previous occasions by phone calls seeking to know the fact and my staff and close friends have also had to answer calls at odd hours just because some sadistic mind has been at work and has triggered a distasteful rumour."[20] " [edit]Legacy and awards Dilip Kumar is widely considered to be one of the greatest actors in the history of Hindi Cinema.[3][4][5] Kumar holds the Guinness World Record for having won the maximum number of awards by an Indian actor.[21] He has received many awards throughout his career, including 8 Darsh Award for Best Actor awards and 19 nominations.[22] He was honoured with the Filmfare Lifetime Achievement Award in 1993.[23]The Government of India honoured him with the Dadasaheb Phalke Award in 1994[17] - the highest award for cinematic excellence in India.
