Dilip Kumar needs no introduction. He is one of the first superstars in Bollywood. The actor is considered one of the greatest actors of Indian cinema. He started his career in 1944. Dilip Kumar‘s wife Saira Banu got emotional at the Dilip Kumar Hero of Heroes event in Mumbai on Saturday. PVR Cinemas and INOX with Film Heritage Foundation organised a two-day film festival to celebrate cine legend Dilip Kumar’s 100th birth anniversary on Sunday. 

The actress said,  “Aisa lagta hai mujhe ke karwat lekar so rahe hain mere paas. Aur jab unki beemar halat thi, pichle saalo mein he used to sleep long hours. And I would always naturally be by his side, the woman in love that I am with him still. Aur jab woh kabhi unki aankh kholte the , it was a festival for me, it was Eid for me.”

She further narrating their heartfelt moment that, “He would turn around, look at me with those beautiful penetrating eyes, the most beautiful smile and say ‘Saira, abhi tak yahan baithi ho.’ I would tell him, "Yes of course, abhi tak baithi hu aapke liye ki aapki aankh khule, aapke face pe, aapke jism pe koi harkat ho. Jab aap sote hai, ye duniya bahut khamosh hojati hai, meaningless hojati hai mere liye. Lekin jab aap jaagte ho, is duniya mein harkat aajati hai log chalne phirne lagte hain '.”

On the career front, Dilip Kumar was the first actor to receive a Filmfare Best Actor Award and holds the record for most numbers of Filmfare Awards won for that category. He was famous for films like Andaz (1949) with the swashbuckling Aan (1952), the dramatic Devdas (1955) with the comical Azaad (1955) and the historical romance Mughal E Azam (1960).
