Saira Banu, a seasoned actress, frequently shares updates from her personal and professional lives on social media. In a recent post about birthday celebrations, she recalled how acting legend Dilip Kumar proposed to her.
Saira recalled her birthdays by sharing pictures of herself with Dilip Kumar, one of which was in black and white and also included Rajendra Kumar and Dev Anand.
Soon, birthdays and other special occasions were greeted with a flurry of admiration, flowers, and letters from friends and admirers, transforming the entire home into a Garden of Eden. The House Warming for our new home at 34-B Pali Hill was held on August 23, 1966, a wonderful evening.Â
Saira Banu continued, "Life became besieged with good luck, one miracle after another, and can you imagine that the 'Emperor Of Acting' for whom the world was his stage. I was noticed by Dilip Kumar." You have grown up into a gorgeous girl, Mr. Dilip Kumar, who has known me since I was a young child and has consequently declined to work with me, exclaimed when he first saw me at this housewarming party. He joined me for supper the following night after taking quick flights every other night from Madras to Bombay.
Saira recalled how Kumar proposed to her and how she was unable to suppress her joy when she heard the actor pronounce those words.
"On one of these enchanted nights, he proposed, asking, "Will you marry Me? " Here was the fulfillment of a wish I had nourished ever since I was a teenager. We were a happy couple, and I transitioned from being a dedicated wife to an adoring admirer. I had the opportunity to observe the various facets and attributes of this wonderful person. He was unlike anyone I had ever met; he exuded a regal aura of understated elegance, said Saira Banu.
Dilip Kumar and Saira Banu were wed in October 1966, and they stayed so till his passing in July 2021.Â
