Dilip Kumar was an Indian actor who worked in Hindi cinema. Credited with pioneering method acting in cinema, he dominated the Indian movie scene from the late 1940s through the 1960s, being referred to as Abhinay Samrat (Hindi for "Emperor of Acting") by the audience. Kumar holds the record for most wins for the Filmfare Award for Best Actor (eight, which was later equaled by Shah Rukh Khan) and was also the inaugural recipient of the award. He is also referred to as The First Khan of Hindi Cinema. He holds the most dominant box-office record for a star (male or female) in Hindi cinema with over 80% box-office success and several long-standing gross records.
