Instead he is on a loftier pedestal in the hearts of legions of admirers encompassing several generations. With the millions of hearts he has stolen with his charm and romantic style it is then little wonder that so many years later the legendary thespian's work continues to be both admired and studied by actors even now.
Lavishly illustrated with over a hundred rare and familiar pictures, this comprehensive book includes chapters on Dilip Kumar's early years and family, his evolution as an actor, an exhaustive filmography, his relationship with his contemporaries and colleagues, his romances, and eventual marriage to Saira Banu, which has stood the test of time.

With an Introduction by veteran journalist Ali Peter John, Dilip Kumar: Peerless Icon Inspiring Generations promises to take you on a fascinating up close and personal journey which will unveil the many facets of the magnificent personality of this legend.
