One of the most heartwarming reel to real life love story is that of Dilip Kumar and Saira Banu. In an industry where break-ups and divorce are a cliche, here is a story about two actors who fell in love, married and are much in love even after living for nearly five decades together.
The actress who turned 72 today, has her life revolve around the veteran actor, who she is beside during sickness and health. Talking at length about her relationship with Dilip Kumar, in an interview with a leading daily, Saira Banu said, "It’s a fact that ever since I became an actress, and in fact, even before that, I just wanted to be Dilip Saab's wife. Material gifts are good, and yes, they make one happy. But, the gift of love is the biggest gift one could ever get. And I’m lucky that I have got that love from him."
She further added, "Dilip Saab has just returned from the hospital, and we are resetting our life. He was at the hospital on his birthday, in December last year. Even now, I was with him for eight days and eight nights at the hospital and he has just come back. So it’s going to be a double special for me and us."
"When I was young, and we had a lot of energy, we used to have big parties. Thankfully, by the grace of God, I had a very loving family, and we used to have grand celebrations. But as it happens, with age and time, a lot of people leave you. So there are only a few friends, who have been there with us at every step of our lives, with whom we celebrate. This year is going to be with them as well," concluded the actress as she spoke about her birthday celebrations.
