Veteran actor Saira Banu welcomed the New Year with Aamir Khan, his mother Zeenat Hussain and his ex-wife Kiran Rao.
She took to Instagram to share a bunch of pictures and mentioned that she ushered in 2024 in warm company with heartfelt conversations and a delightful stroll down memory lane with Dilip Sahib.
Saira Banu reflected on the unchanging presence of Aamir in their lives and acknowledged the mutual admiration between him and Dilip Kumar. She also highlighted Aamir's support during the challenging times, recalling moments during the creation of Dilip Kumar's autobiography.
She wrote, “With each turn of the calendar, life continues to unfold, expand, and evolve. As years morph and time advances, a fresh perspective breathes new life into our existence. Amidst this perpetual change, there remains a constant: the presence of those who have shared our life’s journey with us. For Sahib and me, Aamir has been this unchangeable presence.”
Saira added, “To this day, Aamir still holds a deep admiration for Dilip Sahib and everything he brought to Indian Cinema. It’s mutual, really. Sahib has always had a genuine appreciation for Aamir’s acting brilliance and how he flawlessly brings characters to life on screen. Personally, I’ve always been moved by Aamir’s artistry – not just in his films, but also in the way he’s embraced the role of a family member in Sahib’s and my life. Aamir has been with me during some really tough times.”
“I remember when I was putting together Dilip Sahib’s autobiography, The Substance And The Shadow, Aamir stepped up in every way imaginable, offering support and lending a helping hand. It’s moments like these that make you truly appreciate the kind of person he is, going beyond just the glitz and glamour of the film industry,” she continued.
The note concluded with Saira mentioning the joy of hosting Aamir and his mother, Zeenat Hussain, at her home.
She wrote, ‘Yesterday, I had the pleasure of welcoming Aamir, Kiran, and Zeenat Aapa, who is Aamir’s mother, an absolutely graceful and exceptional lady, into our home. It was wonderful to start the new year with warm company, heartfelt conversations, and a delightful stroll down memory lane with Dilip Sahib. It was a truly wonderful time filled with shared laughter and cherished moments. May this year unfold with the promise of continued relations, shared laughter, and the comfort of knowing that some bonds are destined to remain unchanging, no matter how much the calendar turns. #NewYear #AamirKhan.’
