Saira ji has always been vocal about her love for Dilip saab. In an earlier interview, she had said:
“I am still head over heels in love with my Kohinoor, Yousuf Sahab, the way I was when I first felt attracted to him as a 12-year-old. Ours has been as good and enduring a marriage as so many marriages that have survived the ups and downs for four decades. No marriage is perfect. How can it be, when as human beings we are not perfect? It is mutual love, respect and adoration that keep a marriage ticking.”
Dilip-Saira is one of the strongest couples in the Hindi film industry. We wish Dilip saab always stays healthy and that Saira Ji's birthday wish comes true.
