Modi govt may bestow Bharat Ratna to Dilip Kumar: Reports

If Delhi power circles have to be believed then Veteran actor Dilip Kumar may well be considered for the Bharat Ratna, reports an English daily.

The report says that information on about the actor is being taken from various agencies as apparently that is the norm for Padma and Bharat Ratna awards.

In case the actor is awarded the Bharat Ratna, it may have to be presented to him at Mumbai as his health condition may not allow him to travel to Delhi.

Dilip Kumar, born as Mohammad ​Yusuf Khan in Pakistan debuted as actor in 1944 in the film ‘Jwar Bhata’. He had earlier achieved the Padma Bhushan award, Dadasaheb Phalke award for outstanding contribution to cinema (1991), Padma Bhushan award (1994) and the Padma Vibhushan award (2015)
