Remembering Dilipsaab's Babul
Dilip Kumar began acting in 1944 and by 1947 had attained stardom through films Jugnu. People started recognising him as very natural and versatile performer who could juggle both dramatic and comedic roles.
Babul was one of the first films to establish his 'doomed lover' image, best remembered in the iconic Mela. Others like Aan, Andaaz, Deedar, Uran Khatola and Devdas followed, resulting in his being known as the King of Tragedy.
