Legendary Bollywood actor Dilip Kumar took his last breath today morning. The actor was admitted to Khar’s Hinduja hospital for the past few days. As soon as the family confirmed the news of his death, several Bollywood celebrities mourned his demise.

Actor Akshay Kumar mourned and tweeted, “To the world, many others may be heroes. To us actors, he was The Hero. #DilipKumar Sir has taken an entire era of Indian cinema away with him. My thoughts and prayers are with his family. Om Shanti.” 

Amitabh Bachchan paid his tribute to the legend and wrote, “An institution has gone .. whenever the history of Indian Cinema will be written, it shall always be ‘before Dilip Kumar, and after Dilip Kumar’… My duas (prayers) for peace of his soul and the strength to the family to bear this loss .. Deeply saddened…”

Ajay Devgn shared a picture with the late actor and wrote about his experience of working with him. “Shared many moments with the legend…some very personal, some on stage. Yet, nothing really prepared me for his passing away. An institution, a timeless actor. Heartbroken. Deepest condolences to Sairaji #DilipKumar,” he tweeted.

Tusshar Kapoor shared pictures of Dilip Kumar from a few of his epic movies, like Saudagar, on his Instagram handle. He captioned the post as, “Words cannot do justice to describe your life in the movie business and your body of work, that very few can boast of! From Mughal-e-Azam to Saudagar, even my generation was spellbound by your magic on-screen and over the audiences! RIP Dilip Saab! I’d rather not say more, for any homage to your life or career would be inadequate!”

Arshad Warsi tweeted, “We have lost the greatest actor Indian cinema has known. Dilip Sahab was and will always be the benchmark of stardom and immense talent. I am glad he lived a full and loving life… you were and will always be in our prayers… KHUDA HAFIZ…”
