association with his late friend and co-star
Pran. He remembers how they used to
share Punjabi jokes and how they had
become phone friends of late.
"My dear friend Pran liked to talk to me on
the phone till recently. (My wife) Saira
(Banu) and I visited him whenever we
could. We had our Punjabi jokes, bringing
back memories of the great times we
shared as co-stars. He was a through gentleman," Dilip Kumar wrote on Twitter.
Pran died on July 12, 2013 following
prolonged illness. He was 93.
The news of his death pulled Dilip Kumar
back to Twitter after almost five months,
and why not. They worked together in
memorable films like Azaad and Madhumati, and shared a great rapport too.
Dilip Kumar also shared with the
twitterati as to how Pran managed to
attend his wedding, braving bad weather
in Srinagar.
"I can never forget how Pran managed to
come to my marriage, braving bad
weather in Srinagar where he was
shooting. He took a flight to Delhi and then
to Bombay and reached by evening, in
time to hug me before the nikaah ceremony," wrote the ailing 90-year-old.
Pran was cremated at Shivaji Park electric
crematorium in Mumbai on July 13, 2013.
