Further thanking the “overwhelming multitude of caring well-wishers and dearest friends” for their support of Dilip Kumar, she added. “I am writing this note on the 7th of July to especially express my gratitude to the overwhelming number of caring well-wishers and dearest friends from all over the world who have so tremendously lifted me off my feet to this day with their never-ending remembrance, love, and respect for my Kohinoor, Dilip Kumar Sahib,” she continued. Time stopped on “7th of July” at “7 am” on that day, and my loved one fell into a deep sleep. Sahib, as I usually called him, should respond to one of his favourite couplets, so I begged the Almighty for this to happen.

We will continue to walk the path of life together, hand in hand, and united in our thoughts and being till the end of time, she said. “Till this day, I believe he is with me. Not just for my life, but for all those generations who have advanced in their lives as represented by his gracious presence and attitude, Dilip Sahib has been that iconic guiding light. He was not only the best actor of all time, but also an excellent human being who epitomised humility and decency. I want to promote his life, his ideas, and his commitment to many causes that benefit society and the well-being of the entire world on Instagram. He has been the ultimate actor and has dedicated his life to the film industry.
