On the fourth anniversary of Dilip Kumar's death, Saira Banu took to social media to express her gratitude to the late actor's admirers. She shared touching stories and memories of their life together.

Banu wrote, "I am writing this note on the 7th of July to express my gratitude to the overwhelming multitude of caring well-wishers and dearest friends from all over the world who have so tremendously swept me off my feet till today with their everlasting remembrance, love, and respect for my Kohinoor, Dilip Kumar Sahib."

She reminisced about their active life, driven by Dilip Kumar's philanthropic nature. Saira shared a heartwarming photo of the two, with her in a pink kurta and Kumar in a grey suit and tie.

Saira explained, "Get set... ready and GO...!! Our lives were full of action... Sahib being the philanthropist and endearing person that he always was for all mankind, we were constantly going out to attend functions and get-togethers for the benefit of the needy, such as The National Association for the Blind... the Physically Handicapped... the War Widows, etc. He kept me on my toes and would be ready in a jiffy... I had to keep running to keep pace with him... If I were late, I could hear the car horn downstairs screaming away to get me going! Will in the future share his forays into shopping with me..."

The actress hinted at sharing more memories, particularly their shopping trips, leaving fans anticipating her next post.

Despite a 22-year age gap, Dilip Kumar and Saira Banu married in 1966. Saira was introduced to Dilip Kumar, also known as "The Tragedy King," when she was a 12-year-old fan. Her mother, Naseem Banu, was also an actress.

The couple, unfortunately, never had children due to Saira's tragic miscarriage.
