Dilip Kumar is turning 93 next week -- December 11 -- and like every year, Peshawar has planned a grand celebration to commemorate the legendary actor's birthday.

Dilip Sahab took to Twitter to thank the Cultural Heritage Council of Peshawar which has invited him to attend an event in his honour.

Stranger | 8 years ago | Reply @Mohammad: and why not .. both have roots in Peshawar.

Mohammad | 8 years ago | Reply He is legend.....beyond the imagination of any current actor can reach to the heights that he has achieved. I watch his youtbue videos and the other day I realized that SRK copy his style.
