India means everything to me. It is my homeland. India is my country. It is here that I have gotten love and affection as a film star from millions and millions of my fans over the last five decades. Dilip Kumar
আমার স্মৃতিতে দিলীপ কুমার
সালটা ১৯৫৫। আমার শৈশবকাল, আর দিলীপকুমার তখনই বেশ পরিচিত বলিউড অভিনেতা। আমাদের পরিবার তখন থাকে ভারতের পশ্চিমবঙ্গের হাওড়া জেলার উলুবেড়িয়া মহকুমার সদর শহরে।আমার বেশ মনে পড়ে আমার দিদি আমাকে নিয়ে স্থানীয় সিনেমা গৃহ 'ছায়াগীতি'-তে সন্ধ্যায় সিনেমা দেখতে গিয়েছিল, ছবির নাম ছিল 'ইনসানিয়াৎ'' (মানবতা)। ছবিটা ছিল হিন্দি ভাষায়, সুতরাং বিষয়বস্তু বোঝার কথা নয়, বুঝিওনি। শুধু এটুকু বুঝেছিলাম যে এটা কোন রাজকাহিনী। আর অভিনেতাদের কাউকেই তখন চিনতাম না, দিলীপ কুমারকেও না।আমার কাছে একমাত্র আকর্ষণীয় ছিল একটা ক্ষুদে শিম্পাঞ্জীর ভূমিকা, সম্ভবত নাম ছিল 'জিপ্পু'। আমার দিদিরও ওকে বেশ পছন্দ হয়েছিল। সিনেমা দেখে ফিরে আমার দিদি আমাদের ছোট ভাইয়ের নাম রেখেছিল ওই শিম্পাঞ্জীর নামানুসারে। কদিন বাদেই একটা কালো কোট কিনে এনে সেটা পরিয়ে ওর ফটো তুলিয়েছিল দিদি। যে চেয়ারে বসে ভায়ের ছবি তোলা হয়েছিল সেটাতে বসেই আজ আমি এই স্মৃতিচারণ করছি। প্রসঙ্গত, সেদিনের সেই সিনেমা গৃহটি আজও আছে, আমি ২০১৭ সালে শেষবার সেটিকে দেখে এসেছি।
দিলীপ কুমারের নামের সাথে পরিচয় না হলেও তাঁর অভিনীত ছবি দাগ, আন প্রভৃতির বিজ্ঞাপন শৈশবেই চোখে পড়ত। একটু বেশী বয়সে মুঘল-ই-আজম' দেখে অভিনেতাকে চিনলাম। সেলিমের ভূমিকায় তাঁর অভিনয় আমাকে প্রভাবিত করেছিল।
খুব বেশী তাঁর অভিনীত ছবি দেখা হয়নি। তাঁকে শেষ দেখেছি সাগিনা মাহাতো'-তে। তখন আমার পরিণত বয়স ও মন। রাজনীতি, ট্রেড ইউনিউন- এসব অনেকটাই বুঝি। এই ছবির অভিনয়েও মুগ্ধতা ছিল।
দিলীপ কুমার মোট ৬৩টি ভারতীয় সিনেমায় কৃতিত্বের সাথে অভিনয় করেছেন, যার ফলস্বরূপ ভারতীয় চলচিত্রের সর্বোচ্চ পুরষ্কার ও দ্বিতীয় সর্বোচ্চ রাষ্ট্রীয় সম্মান পেয়েছেন। তাঁর বেশীরভাগ চলচ্চিত্রের সাথে আমার পরিচয় না থাকলেও যেটুকু দেখার সুযোগ হয়েছে তাতে মেনে নিতে সংশয় নেই যে তিনি ছিলেন একজন বড় মাপের অভিনেতা।
তাঁর মৃত্যুতে মনে হচ্ছে তিনি এতদিন বেঁচেছিলেন।
দিলীপ কুমারের মত বড় মাপের মানুষের অভাব সহজে পূরণ হবার নয়।

দিলীপ কুমার অভিনীত ইনসানিয়াৎ দেখেছিলাম আমার শৈশবে, ১৯৫৫ সালে।
গতকাল এই সংকলন প্রস্তুতির সময় আবার দেখতে গিয়ে স্মৃতিমেদুর হলাম।
সেদিন বুঝিনি ভাষার কারণে, চর্চিত অভিনেতাকেও চিনতাম না। আজ হিন্দি ভাষা বুঝি, অভিনেতাও আর অপরিচিত নন। কিন্তু তবুও কিছুই বুঝলাম না। কারণ আজ আমি শ্রবণশক্তিহীন। আমি শব্দদূষণের শিকার।

Dilip Kumar in my memory
It was the year 1955. It was my childhood, and Dilip Kumar was a well-known Bollywood actor then. Our family then lived in Sadar town in the Uluberia subdivision of the Howrah district in West Bengal, India. I can clearly remember my elder sister took me to watch a movie in the evening at the local cinema house 'Chhayagiti'. The name of the movie was 'Insaniyat' (Humanity). The picture was in Hindi, so the content was not meant to be understood. I just understood that this was the story of a Kingdom. And I didn't know any of the actors then, not even the name of Dilip Kumar. The only attraction I had was the role of a tiny chimpanzee, probably named 'Jippu'. My elder sister also liked it a lot. After watching the movie when we came back, my sister named our younger brother after that chimpanzee. A few days later, Didi (elder sister) bought a black coat and took a photo of my brother wearing it. Today I am reminiscing in the chair where my brother was photographed that day. By the way, that cinema house of that day is still there today, I last saw it in 2017.
Although I was not familiar with Dilip Kumar's name, advertisements for his films Dag, Ann, etc. were seen in my childhood. I got to know the actor after watching 'Mughal-e-Azam' at a slightly
older age. His performance in the role of Selim impressed me.
Not too many movies he acted in having seen me. I last saw him in 'Sagina Mahato'. Then my mature age and mind. Politics, trade unions - I understood many of these. There was also a fascination with acting in this film.
Dilip Kumar has acted in a total of 63 Indian movies, as a result, he received the highest award of Indian film and the second-highest state honor. Although I am not familiar with most of his films, I have no doubt that he was a great actor.
At his death, it seems he lived so long.
The shortage of large-size people like Dilip Kumar is not easy to fill.

I saw ‘Insaniyat’ starring Dilip Kumar at a young age, in 1955.
Yesterday, while preparing this compilation, I tried to watch it again and remembered the past.
I remembered that day.
Today I understand the Hindi language, the actor is no longer a stranger to me. But I did not understand anything.
Because today I am deaf. I am a victim of noise pollution.

Dilip Kumar`s life is nothing short of a beautiful film, replete with every color of life. From his birth in Peshawar to becoming the First Khan of Bollywood, the screen legend`s life is an inspiration to anyone who dares to dream.
Dilip Kumar (born Mohammed Yusuf Khan; 11 December 1922 – 7 July 2021) was an Indian actor and film producer, best known for his work in Hindi cinema. Referred to as the "Tragedy King" and "The First Khan", he has been credited with bringing a distinct form of method acting technique to the cinema. Kumar held the record for most wins for the Filmfare Award for Best Actor (which was later equaled by Shah Rukh Khan) and was also the inaugural recipient of the award. Kumar debuted as an actor in the film Jwar Bhata (1944), produced by Bombay Talkies. In a career spanning over five decades, Kumar worked in over 65 films. Kumar is known for roles in films such as the romantic Andaz (1949), the swashbuckling Aan (1952), the social drama Daag (1952), the dramatic Devdas (1955), the comical Azaad (1955), the epic historical Mughal-e-Azam (1960), the social dacoit crime drama Gunga Jamuna (1961), and the comedy Ram Aur Shyam (1967).
In 1976, Kumar took a five-year break from film performances and returned with a character role in the film Kranti (1981) and continued his career playing leading roles in films such as Shakti (1982), Mashaal (1984), Karma (1986) and Saudagar (1991). His last film was Qila (1998). Kumar was also known for his long relationship with actress and frequent co-star Madhubala that ended due to the Naya Daur court case in 1957. He married actress Saira Banu in 1966 and resided in Bandra, a suburb of Mumbai, until his death in 2021...for more detail
