Dilip Kumar honoured with Padma Vibhushan

Dilip Kumar, Indian cinema's one of the greatest actors, has been conferred with the Padma Vibhushan on Sunday at a special function held in Mumbai.

Home Minister Rajnath Singh visited veteran actor's home to confer him with the Padma Vibhushan award.  Maharashtra's Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis was also present while honouring Dilip Kumar.  The announcement to honour Dilip Kumar, Amitabh Bachchan and a few others with Padma Vibhushan was made by the government on the eve of Republic Day on 25th January, 2015. However, the acting legend could not attend the special function held in Rashtrapati Bhavan in April when other Padma awardees were honoured by President Pranab Mukherjee.  Source : http://www.ddinews.gov.in
