Dilip Kumar turns 91, to celebrate with family, doctors

Legendary actor Dilip Kumar, who turned 91 on Wednesday, will have a quiet celebration with close friends, family and a team of doctors, said his wife Saira Banu.

"I only want to thank Allah for whatever he has given us. We will have a great celebration with family members and around 30 to 40 doctors who looked after him. They are like family to us," Saira Banu, who has been married to the veteran for 47 years said.

The star of films like ‘Devdas’, ‘Madhumati’ and ‘Mughal-E-Azam’ started receiving wishes from Tuesday itself. "His day has been wonderful so far...wishes started pouring in since last night.

He is now tired a bit as he has been busy since morning. He is taking some rest right now," she said. Saira, who worked with Dilip Kumar in ‘Gopi’ and ‘Sagina’, has organised a garden party at their Pali Hill residence in the evening.

"It's all the more a special day as it is 11/12/13 today. I exactly wished him at 8 hours 9-minutes and 10 seconds ...so it's 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13," she added.

Talking about Dilip Kumar's health, Saira said he has become little weak, but he is healthy.
