The veteran actor is expected to arrive in Makkah Saturday.

The 90-year-old living legend is accompanied by his actress wife Saira Bano. They arrived at the Prince Mohammad Airport in Madinah from Mumbai on Wednesday night. The actor, who commands phenomenal popularity and following in the Subcontinent, was a picture of grace on arrival.

Dilip Kumar aka Muhammad Yousuf Khan thanked Allah for giving him the strength to go to Mecca at the age of 90.

"Allah has been kind that he's given me the strength to go on Umrah (pilgrimage) with Saira, Asif, Faisal... My doctor friends, few relatives are also accompanying me to Umrah. Keep me in your prayers," the thespian tweeted Wednesday.

Yousuf Khan and Saira Bano will arrive in Makkah in a day or two to complete the religious rituals and will leave for Mumbai from King Abdul Aziz International Airport in Jeddah in a week’s time.
