An a institution by himself he enthralled the audiences, world over, through many generations.
Though he was symbolized as a tragedy king in reel life, in reality he was an epitome of humanity who only wished happiness to everyone. Vacuum created now is hard to be refilled.
A legendary actor par excellence, his professional and personal philanthropic contributions to the fraternity is beyond any quantum of measurements.
Recipient of many awards including the 1st Filmfare & the prestigious Dadasaheb Phalke. We are sure his cherished award would have been the immense love & affection he received from millions. A well-crafted journey spanning many decades, he truly loved his craft of being an ACTOR FIRST.
For us at CINTAA & CAWT, the sadness is indomitable even to express through our words. His contribution to our association & Trust was extremely noteworthy and his voice, wisdom & opinions truly mattered to us. His unparalleled virtue was that he always embraced the spirit of brotherhood. A teacher and a true master.
As we now pray for his soul to rest in eternal peace, we express our heartfelt condolences to his family and Saira ji in particular.
We aren’t saying adieu because Dilip Saab will stay in our hearts forever. Said, Vikram Gokhle – Hon. President-CINTAA and Pankaj Dheer – Hon. Chairman-CAWT.
