All the above-mentioned things have happened before, but now she is much better.”

Saira Banu's health struggles have been ongoing since the passing of her beloved husband, the legendary actor Dilip Kumar, in 2021. Reflecting on her recent hospitalisation, Saira Banu shared an emotional connection to her late husband. In a heartfelt social media post, she said, “A nostalgic reminiscence from the hospital bed of my dream wedding 58 years ago.“ ‘Do Sitaron Ka Zameen Par Hai Milan Aaj Ki Raat,’ that’s what played on the radio all night on the 11th of October, our wedding anniversary... a day I wish had never ended. If someone had told me, ‘O Saira, you’ve got wings for real; you can fly,’ I would have believed them without hesitation. That’s how surreal that day felt, 58 autumns ago.”
