Mumbai, Sep 17 (NationPress) Renowned actress Saira Banu has sent heartfelt birthday wishes to Prime Minister Narendra Modi on his 75th birthday, reminiscing about a profoundly personal act of kindness he displayed during a time of immense grief following the loss of her husband, legendary actor Dilip Kumar.
Saira shared a nostalgic photo with the esteemed leader on Instagram.
“Wishing a very Happy Birthday to our respected Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi ji. On this special day, I reflect on the compassion and kindness he offered during my darkest moments,” she expressed.
Recalling her experience, Saira Banu stated: “When my beloved Dilip Sahib left this world, I was engulfed by a sorrow so deep that enduring it seemed impossible. In that bleak moment, his soothing voice reached out to me with words filled with such tenderness, 'Aap apne aap ko sambhaliye, aur ek baat jaan lijiye ki hum aapke parivaar hain', which revived my spirit when it was on the verge of breaking.”
She also noted that in the following months, arrangements were made for her to meet the Prime Minister during his visit to Mumbai, but her health did not allow it.
“Subsequently, there came a moment when Modi ji visited Mumbai, and it was planned for us to meet; however, my delicate health prevented that from happening.”
“Eventually, when circumstances allowed our meeting in Delhi, I discovered in him the same humility, warmth, and genuine concern that had once provided me solace from afar.”
On this milestone birthday, Saira Banu conveyed her heartfelt wishes.
“Thus, on this day celebrating his birth, I offer him my sincere wishes for lasting health, a long and noble life, and the strength to continue steering our nation with the unique compassion and dignity that truly suits him,” she wrote.
