He was born Muhammad Yusuf Khan, in Qissa Khawani Bazaar in Peshawar, in the then undivided India, now in Pakistan, in a Pashtun family of twelve children. His father, Ghulam Sarwar was a fruit merchant and owned large orchards in Peshawar and Devlali in Maharashtra near Mumbai. The family relocated to Mumbai in 1230s and in the early 1940s Yusuf Khan moved to Pune and started off with his canteen business and supplying dry fruits.
There he was spotted by a leading actress of those years, Devika Rani, who was also the wife of the founder of Bombay Talkies, Himanshu Rai, and helped his entry into the Bollywood film industry. She also gave him the screen name of Dilip Kumar
