To celebrate the late legendary actor's birthday, Film Heritage Foundation has organised a two-day film festival titled Dilip Kumar Hero of Heroes. Saira Banu arrived at the opening ceremony of the event, and upon seeing a poster of Dilip, she got emotional. In a video shared online, Saira was seen caressing a poster of Dilip Kumar at the screening as she got teary-eyed. The veteran actress looked evergreen in a black kurta set. Farida Jalal, Asha Parikh, Waheeda Rehman, Prem Chopra, Shatrughan Sinha's wife Poonam Sinha, Ramesh Sippy, Divya Dutta and other celebs were also spotted at the screening.
Saira and Dilip have always defined what is true
love. Reacting to the emotional video, fans showered love and support to Saira Banu in the comment section. A user wrote “Sayad hi kisi ne kisi ko itni mohabaat ki hogi (Only a few can love someone like her).” Another said, “Their love is an example for us,” added another one. A comment read, "Aaj ki duniya me ab aisi mohabbat dhundne se bhi nahi mile gi." Several also claimed that 'True love never dies."
In the two-day film festival (Saturday-Sunday), Dilip Kumar’s critically-acclaimed movies, including Aan (1952), Devdas (1955), Ram Aur Shyam (1967) and Shakti (1982), will be screened in over 30 cinema halls and 20 cities across the country.
