Dilip Kumar has added another feather to his cap.He celebrated golden jubilee of his marriage on 11th October 2016 .He had entered into matrimonial ties with Saira Bano on 11th October 1966.He was then 44 and Saira was half his age.She was 22.Their wedlock is considered to be the most stable marriage in Bollywood and Lollywood
The way Saira has been looking after her ailing husband for the last five years who will turn 94 on 11th December 2016 is simply remarkable.It speaks volumes for the dedication which the eastern wives are known for their husbands.
In the initial days of his film career Dilip lost his heart to Kamini Kaushal but his romance didn’t pan out as Kamini had to marry his brother-in-law after her sister died for taking care of her children.Later,Dilip Kumar and Madhubala’s romance remained the talk of the town for good nine years but it could not materialise into marriage following insistence of her father that she would continue to work in films after the marriage to which Dilip didn’t agree.
Saira’s mother Naseem Bano was one of the most beautiful heroine of her times and she was nicknamed as fairy-faced.Dilip Kumar is undoubtedly the greatest actor ever seen by the subcontinent since 1913 when India started making movies.He was a born actor.I am using past tense for him because for all practical purposes he has left film acting long ago .His physical condition is such that it won’t be possible for him to work in films any more.He is in the autumn of his life .Age is not on his side and he has stopped coming out of his house…..
