Friendship Day 2023: Saira Banu Shares Throwback Gem Featuring Dilip Kumar And His "Mates"

"For Sahib and his mates, friendship was not something rooted in give and take, neither was it coloured with expectations," wrote Saira Banu

Happy Friendship Day, everyone. The day is celebrated on the first Sunday of August. To mark the day that cherishes the beautiful bond of friendship, veteran actress Saira Banu has shared a montage on Instagram. The video is all about her late husband, the legendary Dilip Kumar, and his friends. We can spot Dilip Kumar spending quality time with Sunil Dutt, Raj Kapoor, Dev Anand, Yash Chopra, Ashok Kumar, Amitabh Bachchan and Dharmendra among others. Along with the video, Saira Banu wrote, “Friends were the light of Sahib's life. At a glance, one may witness Sahib, a legend on his own, surrounded by the legends of the time. However, beneath this stardom persona, lived and breathed, stories of time-tested friendships, camaraderie, jest, laughter, carefree abandon and moments of boyish nonchalance.” She added, “This video reveals a little of those joyful days, where time has frozen a few moments for fond remembrance. For Sahib and his mates, friendship was not something rooted in give and take, neither was it coloured with expectations. It was a matter of heart, and heart alone, as it should be. In the coming days, I shall endeavour to share, stories from Sahib's life that bear testimony to the bond he shared with only a few.”
