In a past interview, the late actor Dilip Kumar recalled first meeting his future wife Saira Banu when she was very young. He said he knew her before her film career, even introducing her to his legendary co-star Madhubala on the set of Mughal-e-Azam. Kumar admitted he initially disapproved of Banu entering the industry, thinking a well-educated woman should marry instead. She persisted, and they later wed in 1966 with a significant age gap between them.
Kumar and Madhubala were once romantically involved before their separation. He passed away after a long illness, leaving behind a celebrated film legacy spanning decades. His notable works include classics like Devdas and Ganga Jamuna.
