The Tragedy King of Bollywood Dilip Kumar has been honoured with the prestigious Padma Vibhushan award. Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh has done the honours at the legendary actor’s residence.

 

Kumar couldn’t attend the ceremony held in April at Rashtrapati Bhavan due to his illness. Amitabh Bachchan and several other Bollywood dignitaries were honoured with Padma awardees.

 

Big B expressed his happiness on the occasion in an interaction with the media. He said, "I have been a huge fan of Dilip Kumar since many years. It's a very proud, happy moment for all of us...”
