Dilip Kumar, one of Bollywood’s most famous actors has died. The Indian actor died Wednesday in a hospital in Mumbai after a long illness. He was 98. Kumar was known as the “Tragedy King.” He played many serious roles. In several movies, the characters he played died as a heartbroken lover or from too much alcohol. He was known as Bollywood’s only Method actor. Method acting is a way of performing in which actors closely identify with the characters they play. Many of Kumar’s performances were very emotional. Kumar was hospitalized two times last month with trouble breathing. His family announced his death in a tweet “with a heavy heart.” Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi said in a tweet, “Dilip Kumar will be remembered as a cinematic legend.” His death is “a loss to our cultural world.” Amitabh Bachchan is another Bollywood star. He tweeted: “Whenever the history of Indian Cinema will be written, it shall always be ‘before Dilip Kumar, and after Dilip Kumar. Kumar was given a state funeral. His body was covered by the Indian flag. He was buried in a Muslim cemetery in Mumbai.
