Not always. Prithviraj Kapoor was awarded posthumously.

And it is not Bharat Ratna or Param Veer Chakra. It is to recognize the contribution of a person so IMO it should not matter in general whether a person is alive or dead.

Is this Dada Saheb Phalke award given only to living persons? That may explain the missing of KK and others on the list.

Ashok Kumar, Pran, Kishore Da, Shammi Kapoor were some of the actors covered. Don’t recall it’s name though.

Can you scan and post?
Never found Pran Saab’s interview on TV channels etc.
Never read his interviews in newspaper or magazines etc.
I always thought that he was not interested in giving interviews.

Where are Jaidev, Khayyam, Shankar Jaikishan, SD Burman among composers?
If Manna De and Bhupen Hajarika can get it then where are Rafi and Kishore Kumar?
KK even contributed in acting, music and direction also.
Apart from singing nobody can deny the power of his acting in comedy roles. His presence in the film industry has brought only improvements.

If we go with a comparison then a Hrishikesh Mukherjee may look bit odd in the company of directors like Ray and Adoor.
It is given to the great contribution made by them and it is not based on the competition.

Film making is not a one man’s contribution but it is always a team work. Whoever has contributed in making improvements in any film related area may be given this award. Films, specially Indian films are necessarily based on human characters and thus heavily dependent on the good acting shown by actors.
Actors have given an authenticity to the films by their contribution.
Many deserving people have not got Dada Phalke award and Pran is one of them.

I don’t think that is a right anecdote. There is something missing.
Because the incident you are quoting is related with the scene of Ganga Jamuna and Pran saab did not work in it.

Moreover this was related to a scene where Dilip Saab was supposed to do a scene where his character is tired, sweating badly by running in forest for several days. He is devoid of water and food.

To bring the impact in this scene he ran like soldiers. He picked up the gun, raised his hands and made several rounds of the place where they were shooting and when he got the feeling then he gave the shot.
He often did it. To get a right feeling inside he had put on that heavy Bakhtarband in Mughal-i-azam in the desert and he used it for several days before shooting was started.

And it is very unlikely that Pran w’d make such a comment even while making jokes.

Time was different then.
During Dil Diya Dard Liya, Dilip Kumar had worked so hard on the character of Pran also. He was helping him.

“and Pran” may help! :)
