Legendary Indian composer AR Rahman was not always known by that name. Born Dilip Kumar in Chennai in 1967, Rahman revealed that he never liked his birth name — though, as he clarifies, “It’s no disrespect to the great actor Dilip Kumar! It just never matched my own sense of identity.”

Legendary actor Dilip Kumar, 94, who is being treated at a hospital for kidney problems, is not doing good and may need dialysis, a doctor says.

Bollywood screen legend Dilip Kumar has been acquitted by a Mummbai court in an 18-year-old cheque bounce case.

Dilip Kumar and Amitabh Bachchan were conferred with Padma Vibhushan - India's second highest civilian honour.
