The love story of Dilip Kumar and Saira Banu is heartwarming and beautiful. On turning up 72, Saira Banu stated, "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 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."

Talking about her birthday wish, she said, "I just want God to make Dilip Saab completely fit again. I wish he’d get well, and he should always get the love that he’s getting right now. That’s my only wish for this year."

She concluded by saying, "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."
