She used to sing along to songs on the radio, hoping that she would be heard on it one day.
During her struggle, she got in touch with Naushad. She asked him to hear her out, or she'd throw herself in the ocean.
Seeing her determination & stunned by her voice, he signed her on.

#DilipKumar और उनका अपने कौम के प्रति प्यार।
ये उन हिन्दुओं के लिए है जो उनके निधन से कुछ ज्यादा ही प्रभावित हैं।
बाबरी मस्जिद को दोबारा बनाने के प्रयास में दिलीप कुमार ने भी अपना जी जान से योगदान दिया था। ये बात और है के वो सफल नहीं हो पाये।

बाबरी मस्जिद एक्शन कमेटी के वकील जफरयाब जिलानी चाहते थे कि उनकी ओर से नानी पालखीवाला सुप्रीम कोर्ट में खड़े हों।
नानी जी ने मना कर दिया।
किसी ने जिलानी को बताया कि अगर दिलीप कुमार नानी पालखीवाला से बात करेंगे तो शायद वो तैयार हो जाएं।
नानी और दिलीप कुमार अच्छे मित्र थे।

जफरयाब जिलानी ने दिलीप कुमार को संपर्क किया। पता चला कि वो दिल्ली में ही हैं। जफरयाब जिलानी जाकर मिले और अपना उद्देश्य बताया।
तत्काल दिलीप कुमार ने नानी पालखीवाला को फोन किया और निवेदन किया कि वो बाबरी मस्जिद केस के लिए अदालत में खड़े हों।

“..insaaf kaa mandir hai ye
bhagwaan ka ghar hai,

tu aane se hai majboor..”

Go well, Yusuf saab.
For me, he reinvented speech itself for Indian cinema. Taking it away from the distant theatrical orations of the likes of Sohrab Modi. Down to ordinary human speech, intimate whispers, mumbles, bringing a sense of nearness and interiority.

The classic clash of styles came in Mughal-e-Azam, where his soft, sensitive Salim faced off against the thunderous Prithviraj Kapoor with...yes, words...but also silences, and speaking eyes.
The scene that framed this the best is his very entry....
The scene that framed this the best is his very entry....
All the grandiose pageantry of the Mughal court comes to us first, nobles, palace maids and eunuchs running about, orchestras heralding his arrival....
All that magniloquence comes to a halt in anticipation of his first words.
And it's an intimate whisper: "Ma".

The fount of Acting for all generations who came after him
The acme of grace, polish and sophistication
A reader and intellectual
The Social Activist, the anguished and vocal citizen, the relief worker
Aaj jo sarguzasht hai apni
Kal uski kahaniyan banengi
RIP #DilipKumar

As he had long promised Raj Kapur danced on his knees for his beloved 'Lalle's wedding. Friends since College, Raj Kapur would always be surrounded by girls and invite a very shy Dilip Kumar to join him, but when Raj Kapur had a heart attack, while receiving his Dada Phalke award
Dilip Kumar was away in Pakistan on a triumphant tour and so missed Raj Kapur's greatest moment of showmanship but went straight to the hospital on his return, and held Raj Kapur's hands and cried and cried and cried saying 'Tu Mujhe Chhor ke Nahi Ja Sakta Raj'

He was a trendsetter in terms of acting style, and inspired generations of actors across the various streams of Indian cinema. His career spanned over 5 decades. He was considered a master of understatement, and eschewed the loud and theatrical elements of acting.
While he acted in dozens of memorable films over 5 decades, some of his best known films are Devdas, Mughal-e-Azam, Gunga Jamuna, Ram Aur Shyam, Naya Daur, Madhumati, Kranti, Vidhaata, Shakti and Mashaal, to name just a few.
