In her latest post, Banu has spoken about the significance of Valentine’s day in their lives. She shared a picture of her holding a love-filled, hand-written note by Dilip Kumar. The actress revealed that while he was a tragedy King and knew romancing on-screen, he was filled with romance even off-screen. She expressed, “This magical Valentine’s Day fills me with wondrous remembrances of the times when the sky was adorned with a million happy, sparkling stars, marking the beginning and continuation of a life of ecstatic togetherness spanning ’56’ years. Valentine’s Day holds utmost importance for both Dilip Sahib and me. Sahib would often gift me hand-scribbled greeting cards and short notes. I still ponder that while he was the tragedy king and the epitome of romance on the big screen, he also understood the essence of love dearly and profoundly, bringing it to life for real with me at each step of our lives.”
In her post, she also shared a video of Dilip Kumar whistling and how she instantly gave him a peck on the cheek.
Saira said she cherishes these things in today’s times when everything is digital. “In today’s world, where expressions of love often come disguised as cell phone messages and lengthy texts, I feel extremely fortunate to have experienced a love that found its most genuine expression. Nevertheless, I firmly believe that no matter what, Dilip Sahib and I will continue to walk hand in hand by the grace of God, united in our thoughts and being until the end of time. He is always with me at every step of my life.”
The fact that Banu misses her dear husband is evident in her post but she also believes that he’s always holding her hand. Very affectionately, Saira says that looking at him, she couldn’t resist planning a kiss on his cheek sometimes. “Reflecting on the love we shared, I think about the time and place where I recall how I couldn’t resist the opportunity to plant a peck on his cheek. There was one particular moment when Dilip Sahib whistled, and immediately after, I placed my lips on his right cheek. In that moment, I truly wished I could have captured the sound of his whistle to replay it whenever possible, to feel his closeness,” says Banu.
She further added, “Dilip Sahib has been an iconic guiding light not only for me but for all those generations who have been inspired by his gracious presence and romantic personality. Dilip Sahib endures forever… May God always keep him in His love and blessings. “HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY.”
