As the world bids goodbye to Dilip Kumar, we travel back to February 2018 when Zayn Malik surprised his Indian fans by posting a throwback black and white photo of his father Yaser Malik with the Bollywood legend on Instagram.
Dilip Kumar has heartbreakingly left the world for his heavenly abode today, i.e. July 7, at the age of 98. The legendary actor's burial will take place at 5 pm at Juhu Qabrastan in Santacruz, Mumbai, and with full state honours.

In the black and white picture shared, you see the two handsome men dressed dapperly in suits, in what looks to be a party or an event, as the duo posed together for the camera, shaking hands and all smiles.
