Dilip Kumar had been hospitalized a couple of days ago after complaining of breathlessness. He had reportedly undergone surgery earlier in June after being diagnosed with bilateral pleural effusion. It is a condition where fluid gets collected between the layers of the pleura outside the lungs.
A couple of hours ago, ANI tweeted out that Dr. Jalil Parkar of Mumbai’s PD Hinduja Hospital had revealed the news of the veteran actor’s demise. “Veteran actor Dilip Kumar passes away at the age of 98, says Dr Jalil Parkar, the pulmonologist treating the actor at Mumbai’s PD Hinduja Hospital.”
Some of legendary actor’s notable works include Devdas (1955), Naya Daur (1957), Mughal-e-Azam (1960), Ganga Jamuna (1961), Kranti (1981), and Karma (1986) to name a few. His last stint in films was 1998’s Qila.
