Sharing the picture on his Twitter handle, Dilip Kumar wrote, “Pink. Favorite shirt. God’s mercy upon all of us.”

Dilip Kumar is not much active on his Twitter handle but as soon as he posted a picture of himself with his wife, his fans and followers started showering love upon them and wished for their good health.

Earlier on Wednesday, Dilip Kumar also retweeted a bunch of pictures of his ancestral home in Peshawar. He even asked his fans to send more. “Thank you for sharing this. Requesting all in #Peshawar to share photos of my ancestral house (if you’ve clicked the pic) and tag #DilipKumar,” he wrote.

The provincial government in Pakistan’s Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa has decided to purchase the ancestral houses of Raj Kapoor and Dilip Kumar to conserve the historic buildings, which are in dilapidated condition and facing a threat of demolition. Both houses are situated in the Qissa Khwani Bazar area.

In March, Dilip Kumar had shared a health update on Twitter, saying that he and wife, actor Saira Banu, 75, were under “complete isolation” and quarantine due to the corona virus pandemic.
