The actor’s official Twitter account shared, “With a heavy heart and profound grief, I announce the passing away of our beloved Dilip Saab, a few minutes ago. We are from God and to Him we return.” The next update read, “Burial today at 5:00 PM. Juhu Qabrastan at Santacruz Mumbai.”

The veteran actor suffered from advanced prostate cancer that had spread to other organs of his body. “Cancer spread made it difficult to treat him,” the doctor said.

Dilip Kumar is survived by his wife, veteran actor Saira Banu.
