Kumar was the first actor to receive a Filmfare Best Actor Award and holds the record for the most number of Filmfare Awards won for that category along with Shahrukh Khan; 8 wins.

Kumar married actress and beauty queen Saira Banu in year 1966 when he was aged 44 and she was 22.

The Govt of India honoured him with the Dadasaheb Phalke Award in 1994. In 1980, he was appointed Sheriff of Mumbai, an honorary position. In 1991, he was awarded Padma Bhushan from the Govt of India. In 1997, Kumar was awarded, Nishan-e-Pakistan, Pakistan's highest civilian award.

dilip sahab is a great actor but i consider Ashok Kumar as the 'greatest actor'. he also inspired every generation with his body of work..i think there could well be many persons on whom this tag can be attributed..

so tags like 'greatest actor ever' can be highly debatable and we should steer clear of such humbug..
