Saira Banu recently reminisced about her efforts to impress Dilip Kumar at the premiere of 'Mughal-e-Azam' in 1960, where she prepared for six days and wore a heavy saree to stand out among his admirers, including the stunning Madhubala. Unfortunately, Dilip Kumar did not attend the premiere due to a fallout with the film's director, K. Asif, who had secretly married Dilip's younger sister, leaving Saira feeling disappointed and calling the evening a 'fiasco.' She expressed her long-standing affection for Kumar, whom she had admired since she was 12, and reflected on how nothing could deter her dream of becoming Mrs. Dilip Kumar. Years later, after their marriage, she facilitated a screening of 'Mughal-e-Azam' for Dilip at the Film and Television Institute of India, where he watched the film for the first time. Saira's heartfelt memories underscore the enduring love story between her and the legendary actor, despite the hurdles they faced.
