Saira Banu's love for Dilip Kumar is such that even after the death of the legendary actor she still feels that 'she walks together hand-in-hand with her Sahib.' Dilip Kumar passed away on July 7, 2021 and since then Saira limited her public appearances. The couple had tied the knot on October 11 in 1966. Just a couple of days before her wedding anniversary, Saira opened up about Dilip Kumar's death. Her handwritten note was shared in a daily recently, in which Saira expressed her gratitude to her well-wishers, fans and friends for their undying love for them. She wrote, 'This October 11 is the 56th wedding anniversary of my Love and Kohinoor Dilip Sahib and I. I am writing this to especially express gratitude to the multitude of well-wishers, dearest friends and family who have so lovingly and thoughtfully sent us remembrance of this magical day for both of us. Dilip Sahib and I, when time stood still and the sky was lit with a million happy sparkling stars... our wedding, the beginning of a sharing of a life of ecstatic togetherness... and now no matter what, we still walk together hand-in-hand, in our thoughts and being until the end of time. Dilip Sahib has been that iconic guiding light not only for me but for all those generations who've stepped forward in their lives exemplified by his gracious presence and personality. Dilip Sahib is forever.'
