Born in Peshawar as Yusuf Khan, Dilip Kumar was initiated into the world of arc lights and grease paint by the prime actress of his times, Devika Rani. After his debut in Jwar Bhata in 1944, he played a variety of characters over the span of six decades; but nostalgiaphiles venerated him as the monarch of tragedy. With Raj Kapoor and Dev Anand, he formed that star trinity of the 1950s backed with the success of motion pictures such as Andaz, Aan, Daag, Madhumati, Ganga Jamuna and Ram Aur Shyam. His performances in Oedipal dramas Deedar and Devdas are often regarded as the epitome of emoting.
