The epitome of true love, Dilip sahab and Saira Banu have redefined the meaning of love for everyone.

With an age gap of 22 years, the phenomenal couple had taken their love to the next level and had gotten married to each other on October 11, 1966. Smitten by Dilip sahab’s charming personality, Saira Banu was head-over-heels in love with him right from the age of 12. It was a fairytale romance for the ‘king of tragedy’ Dilip Kumar (a.k.a., Yusuf Khan) and the bubbly and charming diva, Saira Banu.

It was Saira Banu’s mother, actress, Nassem Banu, who had played Cupid between Dilip sahab and Saira ji. She was the one responsible for introducing them to each other and bringing them closer. After falling in love with the gorgeous Saira, when Dilip sahab had proposed her, without much ado, she had agreed. Saira Banu was 22, when she had gotten married to a 44-year-old Dilip Kumar in 1966 with the blessings of their respective families.
On September 30, 2020, Dilip Kumar ji had given a sweet treat to his fans. He had taken to his Twitter handle and had shared a beautiful picture with his gorgeous wife, Saira ji.
