well dilip Kumar got married to a lady called Asma in the 80's for a very brief time...second marriage
one of the reasons for this was believed to be family pressure for a heir!
********
More on his personal life.....
Bunny Reubens recently published a biography of Dilip Kumar. Reubens claims that the young Kumar was in love with the married actress Kamini Kaushal.

Later Kumar was linked to the actress
Madhubala. Madhubala's family would not allow the couple to marry; some conjecture that this was because Madhubala was the main source of income for her family. [1]

Kumar and Madhubala were to appear together in Naya Daur, but Madhubala's father refused to allow his daughter to act with Kumar. The producer
B.R. Chopra took Madhubala to court and Dilip Kumar testified against her. The former sweethearts were now on extremely bad terms. This complicated work on the film Mughal-E-Azam, which had started filming before the court case. It is said that Kumar and Madhubala, who were supposed to portray persecuted lovers, resisted filming any more love scenes.

Dilip Kumar married actress and "beauty queen"
Saira Banu in 1966 when he was aged 44 and she aged 22. At the time, gossip columnists predicted doom for the high-profile couple, but Dilip and Saira have proved them wrong. Their union has been one of the longest lasting marriages in Bollywood.

In the 1980's he had a second marriage to a lady named Asma
, it was supposed to be to help a lady in distress. After reports of the second marriage came out in the press the marriage ended.

Trivia

* Dilip Kumar in the late 40's and through the 50's was on the top of the three leading men in Indian film industry. Dilip, Raj Kapoor and Dev Anand were a cut above the rest and in the A league. Raj Kapoor and Dilip Kumar did one film together Andaz , and Dilip did Insaniyat with Dev Anand. Dilip ruled over both the films and was enormously appreciated as to Raj and Dev. Both of them came in the tribute to Raj Kapoor called Raj Kapoor, after his death.
*The interesting similarity in their lives is also that each of them were linked with a leading lady but could not translate the romance to a marriage.
*The romances failed for Raj Kapoor as he was already married, For Dilip Kumar his lady was married and the in the case of Dev Anand it was due to disapproval from the lady's family.
*In real life Dilip Kumar lost the girl twice before his eventually successful marriage to
Saira Banu.
*His dialogue Suna Tumnay "Did you heard" or "Did you understood", often said while pointing the index finger on other is quite famous in the civics.

Definitely, he was. Mera Naam Joker flopped big time, but it is hailed as a classic today. Yes, I have heard about that too. Gregory Peck, oh the memories, I read that in school too. One interesting tidbit is that Suraiya got to meet Peck once, and then the tabloids spread the rumors about the meeting.

Yes, I have. A former drama nerd here, Death of a Salesman is one of my favorite plays. If you are interested in reading more of Arthur Miller's work, I would recommend reading The Crucible if you already haven't.
