Dilip Kumar, 98, passed away at Mumbai's Hinduja Hospital this morning at 7.30 am. He was admitted after complaining of breathlessness since last week. Hours after his demise, Lata Mangeshkar penned a heart-touching note for her Yusuf Bhai. For the unversed, Lata Mangeshkar would tie Rakhi on his wrist. She shared rare throwback pictures with him.
In a tweet, she wrote, "Yusuf Bhai has left his little sister. His demise feels like end of an era. I am not able to grasp this news. I am very sad and at a loss of words. He has left her with memories and words." In another tweet, she added, "Yusuf bhai was ill for several years. He was not able to recognise anyone. Saira Banu left everything and devoted herself to him. She had no other life. I pray that his soul rests in peace."
