Dilip Kumar was keen to gift his ancestral property to the people of Peshawar, says actor's Pakistan-based nephew

Veteran actor Dilip Kumar's nephew in Pakistan has now claimed that he has with him the proper and legal power of attorney of his uncle's prime property in Peshawar, saying the acting legend, who has great respect for the people of Peshawar, was keen to gift his ancestral home to them. Industrialist and former president of Sarhad Chamber of Commerce and Industry Fuad Ishaque, in an interview, claimed that the 98-year-old Bollywood actor drafted the proper power of attorney back in 2012. He said that the love and affection of Dilip Kumar for his ancestral city Peshawar has never diminished from his heart. This news comes days after the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government and the current owner of Dilip Kumar’s ancestral house were urged to settle the rate fixed for the purchase of the historic building for converting it into a museum. Sometime back, Faisal Farooqui, a Peshawar-based spokesman for Dilip Kumar, told media that the legendary actor always discusses his association and sweet memories with his birthplace and the ancestral home in Mohallah Khudadad where he was born in 1922 before being shifted to India in 1935. The price of Dilip Kumar’s four marla (101 square metre) house has been fixed at Rs 80.56 lakh. However, the owner of the house has refused to sell the building, saying the prime location property has been severely undervalued. He has demanded Rs 25 crore for the property. The owner, Haji Lal Muhammad, said that he had purchased the property in 2005 for Rs 51 lakh after completing all formalities required for the transfer of the land and possesses all the documents of the house. He said it is unjust on part of the government to fix the rate at Rs 80.56 lakh for the property after 16 years. Meanwhile, the owner of the ancestral house of Raj Kapoor has also refused to sell the house at the fixed government rate of Rs 1.50 crore and is demanding Rs 200 crore for the property in Peshawar. It is to be noted that the owners of the two buildings have made several attempts in the past to demolish them for constructing commercial plazas given their prime location but all such moves were stopped as the archaeology department wanted to preserve them, keeping in view their historic importance.
