MUMBAI:
A book chronicling the life and times of living legend
Dilip Kumar will be launched on the veteran actor’s
birthday on 11 December this year. Written as a coffee-table
book by film journalist Udaya Tara Nayar, the book has
been supervised by the actor’s wife, Saira Banu.
The
biography, which features rare photographs of the 90-year-old
actor’s family and friends, traces his journey
that started eight decades ago when he came to Mumbai.
It
is being said that many writers who wanted to write
Dilip sahab’s autobiography had approached him
to grant them the rights. "We chose Udaya Tara
because she is like a family member and Sahab has
known her for a long time,” observed Saira Banu.
The
book will be published jointly by Saira’s entertainment
enterprise Sharp Focus and New Media Publishing House.
