Madhubala’s sister talks about her love for Dilip Kumar: ‘He came to the graveyard but burial was over’
Legendary actor Madhubala’s sister Madhur Bhushan, who is 16 years younger to her, has uncovered how actor Dilip Kumar had visited his Mughal-e-Azam co-star at the hospital before her death. Madhubala and Dilip Kumar were in a nine-year-long relationship, however, separated. Madhubala was hitched to singer Kishore Kumar until her death at just the age of 36.
Madhur Bhushan recently uncovered in an interview to ETimes, “She never forgot him. In fact, he even came to Breach Candy Hospital when she was ailing and told her that they’ll work together again. He wasn’t married then. After his marriage, they never met. He came to the graveyard but the burial was over. His family too came. They sent us food for the next three days. It was respect and no animosity.”
She also affirmed that Madhubala had asked Dilip Kumar to apologize to their dad since BR Chopra had filed a case against them after their dad didn’t permit Madhubala to join Dilip Kumar for the shoot of Naya Daur in Gwalior. “Dilip saab had come home after that and yes, Madhubala did ask him to say ‘sorry’ to our father. But Dilip saab termed him as ‘dictator and difficult’. Madhubala reminded Dilip saab that he’d never behaved like that with him. My father liked Dilip Kumar. If he hadn’t liked Dilip Kumar, would he have given his consent to his daughter’s love story?” Madhur said.
