The Substance and the Shadow: An Autobiography Hardcover – 1 Jun. 2015

A good read about a true Bollywood legend.Don't expect much by the way of scandal or revelation, Dilip Kumar was not that kind of man.

Excellent account and well put b the author. I find it very interesting and touching. I wish all the success and my personal best wishes to author Dilip Sahab and of course to Sairaapa whose dedication and hardwork brought the life story of this great actor and human being to all the fans and well wishers.

Brilliant, straight from the horse's mouth. He discusses a lot of issues he has never spoken about in public, like a true gentleman! The childhood stories are particularly good, painting a very evocative picture of life in Peshawar as it was in the 1920s and 30s.

Wouldn't you fall in love with this man even more!

Wonderful story of a great ACTOR and a GREAT HUMAN BIENG of INDIA. Always PROUD of him since my childhood.God bless him with GOOD HEALTH.Enjoyed every word the whole book

I haven't finish reading the book yet but so far it seems rather interesting especially his growing up years.

Quick delivery, quality was as good as new. I wasn’t expecting it, but it turned out that I had been given a signed copy! Brilliant!

Bought for my dad who is a huge fan. He read it and lets others borrow because he likes it that much he wants to share! Big big must for any Dilip Kumar fan. Book condition perfect
