Dilip Kumar, fuming with anger, disgust, and fear, went to his manager to file a complaint. When he returned with the manager, the young woman left his room. He wrote, “The manager looked at me, his eyebrow raised questioningly. I held him by his elbow and made him turn around and walk back with me. I had this lurking feeling that she had headed for the poolside. We reached the pool, and there she was, standing on the raised board above the pool sans her clothes and swaying as if she was on a dance floor.”
He handled the situation maturely, and Kumar was only a teenager when it happened. He ensured that the club did not attract unnecessary attention.
Dilip Kumar passed away in 2021 due to age-related health issues. His death marked the end of an era in Indian cinema, and he was given a state funeral with full honors.
