Saira Bano’s 80th birthday Special: A look at her and Dilip Kumar’s filmy love story

Saira Banu, the most famous actress of the 60s, is 80 years old today. Saira’s mother Naseem Banu was a famous actress of the 40s, who is called the first female superstar of Hindi cinema. When Saira was 3 years old, her father left her and went to Pakistan during the India-Pakistan partition. Since childhood, Saira Banu used to dream of only two things. First, to be called a beauty queen or superstar like her mother and the second was to marry Dilip Kumar who was 22 years older than her. Luckily, both of Saira’s dreams were fulfilled.
