Karan Johar posted a heartfelt tribute on social media: 'DILIP KUMAR SAAB set the standard for all solid actors to follow… he was a bonafide institution... his performances are text books of nuance and celluloid screen presence....

'He leaves behind a legendary legacy that will continue to inspire generations of artists …. His journey can never end because his legacy will always live on…

'Rest in peace Dilip Saab and thank you for being the force that you were.... That force is unmatchable and irreplaceable but forever inspirational...

'Prayers to Saira aunty and the entire family... The entire fraternity mourns the passing away of a LEGEND.'

Dilip Kumar will be given a State funeral. The last rites will be held at the Juhu Qabrastan, northwest Mumbai.
