Shatrughan Sinha asked Dilip to cut the birthday cake, but the actor hardly listened. Finally, both Shatrughan and Saira Bano held the knife in Dilip's hands, and the legend cut his birthday cake.
Yet, there was no conversation on the part of India's greatest tragedy king.
Bollywood regulars say, the last they heard Dilip Kumar speak was at an event, where the actor, with his face reddened, wanted to scream 'silence, silence' but his voice hardly reached people in his vicinity.
The man who rebuked Amitabh Bachchan onscreen in 1982 in the film Shakti, could hardly raise his voice in 2012, thirty years later.
