Legendary Indian actor Dilip Kumar meets great Pashtun politician Khan Abdul Ghaffar Khan in an undated photograph likely taken during the latter's trip to India in 1969.
Bacha Khan was visiting India to participate in the inaugural ceremony of Gandhi's birth centenary and to receive the Jawaharlal Nehru Award for International Understanding, which was conferred upon him in 1967.
Dilip Kumar belongs to a Hindko-speaking Awan family of Peshawar, and his real name is Muhammad Yusuf Khan. His father, Lala Ghulam Sarwar, was a landlord and a fruit merchant. The family of 12 moved to Bombay in the late 1930s. Their house in Peshawar was declared a national heritage site in July 2013.
