Dr Jalil Parkar, who had been treating Dilip Kumar at the Hinduja Hospital, in a conversation with NDTV said that the actor had a very peaceful "passing away." Dr Jalil Parkar said: "His health was improving, but we can understand that at an age of 98 after a prolonged illness, things can turn any moment. We all wished that he completed a century. He had a peaceful passing way, and we all pray that his soul rests in peace in heaven."
