Dilip Kumar looks back at Joy Mukherji
Legendary actor Dilip Kumar and his wife Saira Banu inaugurated a road in suburban Mumbai, named after actor Joy Mukherjee, on his 74th birth anniversary. Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray was also present at the inauguration.
Dilip Kumar shared a picture and tweeted: 'It was a pleasure to inaugurate a road named after Joy Mukherji in Versova, Bombay, yesterday.'
He added: 'Joy's dad S Mukherji Sahab, was Filmstan's founder. In many ways my mentor, well-wisher when I was new in the industry. Mukherji Sahab used to ask me to give acting tips to Joy. I told Joy what I learned from his father: "Acting is all about not acting."'

Stephen Fry visits India
English actor-comedian Stephen Fry is on a trip to India, but the reason is not disclosed yet.
'Off to India now. Mumbai or Bombay, whichever you prefer. Hoping it will coincide with some cricket. But my purpose there is secret - Shh!' he updated.
'Landed in Mumbai/Bombay. If we call it Mumbai then the film product ought really to be called Mollywood, no?' the 57-year-old actor added.
'It's very confusing to be nine and a half hours ahead of GMT. Does my poor little brain in. I shall have a nap now,' he added later.
Fry, who appeared in films like V for Vendetta, Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows and Alice in Wonderland, has received much acclaim for his social work campaigning for people suffering from mental health problems, bipolar disorder and HIV.
