Legendary
actor
Dilip
Kumar
has
been
a
part
of
many
emotionally-charged
films
so
much
so
that
he
even
earned
the
tag
of
the
'Tragedy
King'
of
the
Indian
film
industry.
However,
working
in
such
genre
frequently
came
with
its
set
of
disadvantages
as
the
veteran
actor
started
experiencing
too
feelings
in
his
real
life
as
well.
Eventually,
Kumar
had
to
consult
a
psychiatrist,
who
advised
him
to
stop
working
in
such
movies.
At
a
recent
media
interaction,
director
David
Dhawan
shared,
"Dilip
Saab
was
called
the
Tragedy
King
of
the
industry
as
what
he
most
acted
in
were
tragedy
films.
He
started
feeling
over
emotional
and
began
experiencing
tragedy
feelings
in
real
life."
He
further
added,
"His
mental
condition
started
getting
affected,
after
films
like
Devdas,
etc.
So
much
so
that
Dilip
Saab
had
to
be
taken
to
a
psychiatrist
who
then
advised
him
to
stop
working
in
tragedy
genre
films
and
work
in
films
with
lighter
content."
The
actor
obviously
took
the
doctor's
advice
seriously
and
began
working
in
films
with
lighter
content.
That
is
how
his
films
like
Ram
aur
Shyam
came
to
be
about.
Dilip
Kumar
who
is
looked
after
by
his
wife,
Saira
Banu
-
a
well
known
actress
herself,
will
be
celebrating
his
96th
birthday
on
11th
December.
