Dilip Kumar, Raj Kapoor and Dev Anand are the three names that are still often taken together; kudos to their legendary friendship. The three OGs of the Indian film fraternity were contemporaries, the biggest stars of their era and “the golden trio” of Indian cinema. The stories of their friendship are like a legacy that their family, colleagues and close friends have shared and carried through the ages.
The Golden Trio of the Indian film fraternity
Dev Anand, Dilip Kumar and Raj Kapoor the trio, came from the pre-Partition, Punjab region of India. While Dilip and Raj were initially neighbours in Peshawar, now in Pakistan, Dev Anand was born in Gurdaspur. Dilip and Raj not only grew up as friends but were also schoolmates.
