Veteran filmmaker Subhash Ghai, who directed Dilip Kumar in films like Saudagar, Karma and Vidhaata, says it pains him to see the 'emperor' of Indian cinema, who is ailing at 95, in such a weak condition. On a visit to the IANS headquarter in Noida on Tuesday, Ghai turned emotional when asked if he has met Dilip Kumar in recent times.

"I love Dilip sahab so much that I don't feel like meeting him anymore. I can't see him like this. When I see him, I feel like crying because we know each other since 20-22 years and I have loved him like my brother. He is unable to recognise me, he does not recognise anyone... He is becoming weaker and by looking at him, I think to myself that never 'be boastful in life'," Ghai said.
