Mumbai, Jan 2 (NationPress) Legendary actress Saira Banu extended heartfelt greetings to her fans for the New Year on Friday.
Saira shared a series of enchanting photographs and a video from her stunning balcony on Instagram.
In the video, the eminent actress expresses: “Wishing all of you a very, very happy 2026. May it bring immense joy, good health, and happiness to each one of you. Happy New Year!”
She captioned her post: “Happy New Year, everyone. God bless.”
Last month, on the anniversary of her late husband Dilip Kumar's passing, Saira Banu reflected on how he 'continues to inspire the youth' even after his demise.
“For generations, artists have walked in your light. They still seek in you not just craft but purity of purpose.”
She remarked, “For the audience, your films felt like returning to festivals that never lose their warmth. People have loved you with a devotion that is rarely seen in this world. And yet, despite the reverence, you remained untouched by the noise of fame.”
Saira Banu emphasized that Dilip Kumar was a remarkable human being who always prioritized emotions over material possessions.
“I often smile when I recall how effortlessly you parted with items others would cherish for a lifetime – a watch, a shawl, a pen – given away with the innocence of a child who values hearts more than possessions. Or that evening when you held my hand and guided me to a wedding without a moment’s notice, as if grace itself needed no preparation.”
She wrote: “Your inner world, Yousuf Saab, was always carved from something rarer than time – simple yet profound, free of material wants, rich with meaning, and devoted to the quiet discipline of truth. To have lived beside you and witnessed the man behind the legend remains the greatest honor of my life.”
Expressing her deep feelings for her husband, the loving wife shared, “Sometimes, in a whisper only the heart understands, I find myself saying, “Khuda se poochun… Kya humein Yousuf hamesha ke liye nahin mil sakte?” Happy Birthday, Yousuf Jaan.” Alongside the note, Saira Banu also shared three videos commemorating her husband, featuring both herself and Dilip Kumar.
