Veteran actress Saira Banu took to social media to share a heartfelt birthday message for Aamir Khan, recalling his long-standing affection for her late husband Dilip Kumar and the warmth he has shown her family over the years. In an emotional note, Banu reflected on a recent visit by Khan and spoke about the kindness and support he has extended to them through various moments in life.
“Just a few days ago, when Aamir Khan arrived to see me, accompanied by Gauri, my heart was filled with a warmth that only the presence of dear and familiar souls can bring,” she wrote. Banu described Khan as one of the most thoughtful people she has known and noted that his admiration for Dilip Kumar went beyond that of a distant admirer.
“Aamir has always been, in my experience, one of the most gracious, thoughtful and gentle persons one could hope to know. His admiration for Dilip Sahib was never merely that of an admirer from afar. It was a regard born of genuine affection that revealed itself time and again through the years,” she shared.
The actress also recalled the support Khan extended during the process of bringing Dilip Kumar’s book to life, as well as during difficult moments when the legendary actor was unwell. “During the rather complicated journey of bringing Dilip Sahib’s book to life, he extended his support with remarkable care. In times of illness, when the hospital corridors felt particularly long and heavy, he was there as well, offering quiet companionship and a kindness that I shall never forget,” she wrote.
Reflecting on his recent visit, Banu said it felt like welcoming a member of the family. She concluded the note by expressing admiration not only for Khan’s work but also for the person he is.
“On this special day, as the world celebrates your birthday, Aamir, I wish to say that while millions admire the brilliance of the artist you are, those of us who know you cherish the rare and wonderful human being you have always remained. There can truly be only one Aamir,” she wrote, signing off the message with “Happy Birthday. With love, Saira.”
