" It is really shocking that we got to hear this. He lives very close to where I do. I have been crossing his house almost daily when I take my dog out for a walk. Me and my mom speak a lot about him, so it’s really shocking that something like this happened. Our roads are always empty but today when I walked out it was filled with people and I was wondering what has happened.”

3) Manuel Joseph, Dilip Kumar Fan who came all the way from Mulund (Male, Hindi, 24 sec):

They said that it is not safe to go out in Corona times but I insisted and I came here. He is the most welcome known Hero of our times and so I came all the way from my home in Mulund to here in Bandra to have a last glimpse of him. He is my favorite actor.”

" Today morning at 7.30 am when I turned on my television, I came to know that Dilip Kumar has passed away. I was in great shock and I lamented what has happened. Not only the Indian film industry but even in Hollywood and the whole world will get another great actor like him again. So many people and actors have learned so much from him. They have learned acting by watching him act. Nowadays we see the new actors they get coaching from film institutes and try to learn acting But he had an innate talent and Allah had given him such a talent that he was a natural born actor.”
