Saira Banu shares Dilip Kumar and Sunil Dutt’s pic; says ‘not only neighbours but also dearest of friends

Veteran actor Saira Banu joined Instagram in July and has since been sharing anecdotes from her life with late actor Dilip Kumar. She recently penned a heartfelt note showcasing the great bond between Dilip Kumar and Sunil Dutt.

Sharing a priceless photo, she wrote, ‘I am joyous as I share stories and moments that Sahib shared and lived with people that he called friends. Sahib was known to be a lovable and caring person but only a few people knew that he was a great friend too...one of them was Sunil Dutt.’

She mentioned that the actors were not only neighbours but also dearest of friends. She said that they were ‘great icons’ who did not ‘isolate themselves in their own luxurious lives’ but always came to aid the film fraternity, whether it was a matter of the industry at large or some crisis.

Recalling an incident, Saira Banu said that even though Dutt met with an unfortunate plane crash while returning from a function in Shirpur, Maharashtra, he did not stop himself from taking a walking stick to Dilip Kumar's house to wish him on Eid.

‘This was the greatness and camaraderie of Dutt Sahab,’ she wrote.
Fans were quick enough to react to Saira Banu’s post. One wrote, ‘This is one of most heart warming posts in a long long time.’ Another commented, ‘They both are in one frame...Sahab&sahab.’ Many others dropped red heart emojis in the comment section.
