National heritage

Legendary actor Dilip Kumar’s ancestral home in Peshawar, Pakistan has been declared as a national heritage. In an attempt to bring Pakistan and India closer, Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif has ordered authorities to acquire the dilapidated property and the government is planning to convert it into a museum. The 130 square meter home is located in Peshawar’s famous Qisa Khawani bazaar area and is in a dilapidated condition. Plans are on to invite 91-year-old Kumar and his family after converting the house into a museum.
