One of the most loved actresses of her time Saira Banu clocks her 78th birthday on Tuesday. Saira Banu remains in news for both her personal and professional life. In an old interview, Saira praised Madhubala, her husband Dilip Kumar’s Ex.
In an old interview, Saira was asked by a critic who said you've made it on glamour and not on talent?' Saira had replied, “Maybe they are right - but what counts is that I am around, whether they like it or not! Remember, the same was said of a great star called Madhubala, of another named Marilyn Monroe, and I am happy to be in such illustrious company!”
Why Dilip and Madhubala did not got married.
Dilip Kumar was in a serious relationship with Madhubala, Madhubala’s sister told “They (Dilip Kumar and Madhubala) were engaged to be married. But the Naya Daur court case in 1956 changed it all Ataullah Khan (Madhubala’ s father) didn’t want Madhubala to shoot outdoors. Dilip Kumar testified against Khan in favour of director BR Chopra). Apa asked Dilip saab to apologise to Abba. She was a devoted daughter and didn’t want her father to be disrespected. But Dilip saab refused to say sorry.”
Madubala’s sister further added, “She never forgot him. In fact, he even came to Breach Candy Hospital when she was ailing and told her that they'll work together again. He wasn't married then. After his marriage, they never met. He came to the graveyard but the burial was over. His family came too. They sent us food for the next three days. It was respect and no animosity," Dilip Kumar tied the knot with Saira Banu in October 1966. She was 22 years old when she got married to Dilip (44)
