"Thank you Yusuf Sahab for the invaluable, priceless and unique gift you have given all of us through your work. For me you have always been and always will be the greatest ever. Salaam. Love. Aamir," the actor wrote on the Instagram handle of his company 'Aamir Khan Productions'.

The news of Dilip Kumar's demise was shared by his family friend Faisal Farooqui on the former Twitter handle. "With a heavy heart and profound grief, I announce the passing away of our beloved Dilip Saab, few minutes ago. We are from God and to Him we return. Faisal Farooqui," he wrote in his tweet.
