Back then, his birthname was Mohammad Yusuf Khan. He caught the attention of actress Devika Rani while still engaged in his previous profession. After adopting the name Dilip Kumar, he debuted in the 1944 film Jwar Bhata.<\/p>\n Three years later, Basheshwarnath Kapoor, Raj Kapoor\u2019s grandfather, brought Jugnu to take\u00a0 notice of Dilip Kumar\u2019s father, Lala Ghulam Sarwar Khan.
