Bollywood's tragedy king Dilip Kumar breathed his last on Wednesday at Mumbai`s PD Hinduja Hospital. Born as Muhammad Yusuf Khan in Peshawar, Pakistan, he began his acting career with the screen name, Dilip Kumar. Earlier, Dilip Kumar used to help in the scripting and story-writing department because of his proficiency in the Urdu language. It was upon Devika Rani's request that Muhammed Yusuf Khan changed his professional name to Dilip Kumar. These were the classic tragedy films that gave Dilip Kumar the title of 'The Tragedy King'.
