A community registered under the
name “Dilip Kumar for Bharat
Ratna” in Facebook is lobbying
to garner support for the 86-year-old
actor to be awarded the highest
civilian award of the nation –
The Bharat Ratna. Popular director
Mahesh Bhatt started this initiative
and over 850 people have already
registered in favor of Dilip Kumar.
Bhatt told the IANS that, “It
is the entire industry’s effort.
From every region, stalwarts have
come out to appeal for him. I was
just a foot soldier. It is the Indian
film industry’s effort, not
an individual’s effort.”
The members of the group are encouraged
to leave a comment in favor of the
star or reply “I endorse that
Dilip Kumar is the most deserving
person to be honored with the Bharat
Ratna.”
