Saira Banu describes Dilip Kumar's performance in Sagina as 'spellbinding, enthralling'

Saira Banu took a trip down memory lane and discussed her 1974 film 'Sagina.'

Saira took to Instagram on July 16 and also talked about her late husband, actor Dilip Kumar, who was part of the film.

Saira also narrated an incident about Dilip setting up a badminton court for everyone when filming in Gayabari for the film.

She praised Dilip Kumar's performance in the film as one of his "most spellbinding and enthralling." She also released a few stills and a video clip from Sagina.

The actor said, ‘Sagina is one of my favourite movie. It is based on genuine events from the labour movement. Sagina, a factory worker...is an honest, forceful, and endearing figure who was the first to stand up to the tyranny of British bosses in Northern-Eastern India's tea gardens. Sagina works as a Welfare Officer, bringing about justice.’

She added, ‘I was overjoyed when Sahib and respected Tapan Sinha collaborated... they were such good friends and like-minded that they brought ease and cordiality while filming Sagina in the most peaceful atmosphere at Gayabari, where we worked in the outdoors. The first item Sahib got up in the garden was a badminton court for the entire shooting crew to play together in the evenings and then cosily huddle in the house to sing and joke together turn by turn.’
