After online rumours surfaced about his ailing health, veteran actor Dilip Kumar took to Twitter on November 25 to tell his fans he’s well. He thanked everyone for their concern.
“Phone calls from all over the world. All night. Your love and prayers and Allah’s blessings cannot be thanked enough,” the 91-year-old tweeted following a day marked by rumours about his health scare.
The last tweet from @TheDilipKumar account was posted in June, but now the Mughal-e-Azam actor plans to be regular on the social networking platform — albeit with some help. “I plan to be regular on this medium. I’ve asked @faisalMouthshut to post what I dictate and read to me your messages,” he added.
The Twitter handle is that of Faisal Farooqui, the founder and CEO of MouthShut.com.
Earlier, actor Amitabh Bachchan had tweeted that Kumar is “perfectly fine”. “Some baseless rumours being spread about Yusuf Saheb — Dilip Kumar, being ill...Saira-ji just informed me he is perfectly fine,” he added.
Kumar had recently attended Salman Khan’s sister Arpita’s wedding reception in Mumbai with his wife Saira Banu.
