Slight discomfort and an irritating back pain (sic)," the latest tweet on Kumar's Twitter handle reads.

"God is kind. Humbled at receiving the Living Legend Lifetime Award from Punjab Association this afternoon," he wrote.

The post was accompanied by pictures of him receiving the award.

On his return to the micro-blogging site, Kumar also shared a mural painted by artist Asid Farooqui.

"So much love from Asif Farooqui. Thank you for this beautiful wall mural on Hill Road in Bandra. God bless you," he wrote.

The mural is a still from the actor's 1970 movie Gopi, which also starred Saira.

Kumar was last seen on-screen in the 1998 film Qila.

The thespian has been honoured with the Dadasaheb Phalke award in 1994 and the Padma Vibhushan in 2015 for his contribution to the Indian cinema.

The Pakistan government also honoured him with its highest civilian honour - Nishan-e-Imtiaz - in 1997.

Brooklyn Beckham told parents to contact him only through lawyers amid family rift

Highlights

  • Brooklyn Beckham requested that David and Victoria Beckham contact him only via lawyers during a period of strained relations
  • Legal letters were exchanged, though no formal action was taken
  • The request followed what Brooklyn viewed as damaging briefings about his wife, Nicola Peltz Beckham
  • Both sides are said to be hoping for reconciliation, despite ongoing hurt

A breakdown that moved beyond private disagreement

Relations within the Beckham family deteriorated sharply last summer, reaching a point where Brooklyn Beckham asked his parents to communicate with him only through legal representatives. The request marked one of the most serious moments in an already strained relationship between the eldest Beckham son and his parents.

Sources say the instruction led to an exchange of letters between legal teams at Schillings, representing Brooklyn, and Harbottle & Lewis, who act for David and Victoria Beckham. While no legal proceedings were initiated, the correspondence made clear that Brooklyn did not want direct contact or public references to him from his parents, including on social media.
