The Indian film fraternity members such as Akshay Kumar, Ajay Devgn and Jr NTR among many other mourned the death of veteran Bollywood actor Mohammed Yusuf Khan, known to movie lovers across the world as Dilip Kumar. He passed away in the early hours of Wednesday. Dilip Kumar was admitted to the PD Hinduja Hospital on June 30 for age-related health issues. His wife Saira Banu Khan had earlier tweeted about his improving medical condition. But that was a short-lived glimmer of hope.
Actor Akshay Kumar tweeted on Monday morning calling Dilip Kumar "The Hero".
