Their friendship, spanning decades and generations, is a testament to the enduring power of art and the unique connection that can form between artists.
On December 11th, 2024, we celebrate the birth anniversary of Dilip Kumar, a truly legendary figure in Indian cinema. Let’s take a walk down memory lane and remember when Shah Rukh Khan shared an interesting anecdote: his mother believed he bore a striking resemblance to this iconic actor! On this special occasion, we fondly recall that unique connection between the two stars, a sentiment only Shah Rukh’s mom could have felt.
In a previous interview on NDTV, Shah Rukh Khan discussed his long-standing relationship with the legendary actor Dilip Kumar. Khan explained that he had known Dilip sahab since his youth, as his father was acquainted with him. He reminisced about Saira Banu, Dilip Kumar’s wife, playfully messing up his hair because she enjoyed doing it to her spouse.

Shah Rukh once recalled, “When I was young, my mother thought I resembled Dilip Kumar.” He went on to say that when he observed Dilip Kumar’s face with its radiant skin and captivating deep eyes, he would remark, “Only a mother could see me as Dilip Kumar.
In the year 2023, Saira Banu reminisced about her special bond with Shah Rukh Khan and late Dilip Kumar by penning a touching message. She recounted an incident where she met Shah Rukh, who humbly sought blessings from her, and as she gently touched his head and ran her fingers through his hair, she noticed the striking similarity between his and Dilip Kumar’s hair texture.
Saira Banu went on to explain, “Ever since that day, each time Shahrukh and I crossed paths, he would kindly bend down so I could bestow him with my blessings.
Similarly, the esteemed actress shared that Shah Rukh Khan was one of the initial individuals to console her following the loss of her husband. She penned, “At that difficult time, his kindness towards ‘The Jewel of India,’ Dilip Sahib, became evident as he was among the earliest to extend his comforting presence in the midst of hardship.
