Legendry actor Dilip Kumar celebrated his 93rd birthday on Friday, December 11, with wife actress Saira Banu at his residence in Mumbai. Dilip was born as Muhammed Yusuf Khan in 1922 to Mohammad Sarvar Khan, a successful fruit merchant, and Ayesha Begum in Peshawar in undivided India. When he was five years old a wandering fakir who came asking for alms saw him playing with other kids in the courtyard of his house and he gave a prediction about the boy that he would become a world famous personality and 'the noor of Allah' would shine on his face even when he grew to ripe old age. But, the fakir warned Yousuf's doting grandmother, he would have to be protected from the evil eye of ill-wishers. If he was not protected he could die a premature death.
