THE LOVE AFFAIR BETWEEN DILIP AND MADHUBALA
An emergency meeting was called including Kumar, Amrohi, the famous composer Naushad, and the film's new producer Shapurji. Surprisingly, all agreed to Attaullah Khan's terms--Dilip Kumar's voice reportedly being the loudest in support. Madhubala was signed on to play Anarkali.
During the making of Mughal-e-Azam, Dilip Kumar was in the habit of dropping by to see Madhubala even when he was not required for the day's shooting. He came on her sets and, if she was working, nothing was said. He stood watching; wordless glances were exchanged and he left, but his very presence was enough to transportMadhubala to a world of happiness. She looked forward to these few moments with all her heart, her eyes searching for him. When she saw him, her day was made.
