Saira Banu remembers Dilip Kumar on his first death anniversary

Veteran actor Dilip Kumar left for his heavenly abode on July 7 last year. On his first death anniversary, his wife, actress Saira Banu remembered him with an emotional note. In her note, she said she feels a “sense of desolation” every morning when she wakes up, alone on the bed she shared with her late husband for 55 years. The actress said she buries her face in the pillow. She said, “I turn my face away and bury my face in the pillow and try to go back to sleep… as if by doing so I will open my eyes again and see him sleeping by my side, his pink cheeks glowing in the morning rays of the sun streaming into the room.”

In the note Saira Banu said that her late husband was the only perfect man for her, since she fell in love with him at age 12. She called her love story what fairy tales are made of.
