Born as Muhammad Yusuf Khan in Peshawar, Pakistan, he began his acting career with the screen name, Dilip Kumar. As per a report by ANI, the actor holds the record for winning the maximum number of Filmfare awards. He was the inaugural recipient of the award and won the best actor Filmfare Award eight times.

In his five-decade-long career, he contributed to Hindi cinema in different ways, including the introduction of the method acting technique. His first few films, including his Bollywood debut `Jwar Bhata`, which was released in 1944, could not strike a chord with the audiences. But his scintillating performance in `Jugnu` in the year of Indian Independence, 1947, won hearts, making the film his first major hit.

After `Jugnu`, he starred in a couple of more hits -- `Shaheed` and `Mela`-- before finally landing his breakthrough role in Mehboob Khan`s `Andaz`. Although he had some major hits in the 1940s, it was in the 1950s that he tasted real success for the first time with a string of hits: `Babul,` `Devdas,` `Hulchul,` `Yahudi,` `Daag,` `Sairat,` `Naya Daur,` and `Deedar`.

These were the classic tragedy films that gave Dilip Kumar the title of `The Tragedy King'. His last film was `Qila`, which was released in 1998.

Here are few of the scenes shared by the actor from his films on his Twitter account:
