This is the day, 7th of July at 7am when time stood still and my loved one slid into a deep slumber…” Dilip Kumar died after a prolonged illness.
Saira Banu exclusively told News18 Showsha how ‘life has been really difficult’ for her after Dilip Sahab’s death. “Everyone knows I fell in love with him at the age of 12 so I really can’t imagine him not being around me. I do feel the emptiness and do break down, but at the same time at the cost of sounding crazy, I have a gut feeling of his presence around me. Having said that, I feel fortunate to spend more than five decades experiencing supreme bliss and spending some unforgettable moments with the person I loved the most,” she said.
