When spellbound by Dilip Kumar’s charm, Saira Banu forgot about meeting Madhubala on Mughal-E-Azam’s set: “I just remember looking at Yusuf saab…”

Saira Banu’s lifelong admiration for Dilip Kumar began at a young age, specifically on the sets of ‘Mughal-E-Azam.’ She was so captivated by Kumar that she barely noticed his co-star, Madhubala, despite her iconic role as Anarkali. Banu fondly remembers Kumar’s respectful demeanor towards her family during that initial encounter, marking the beginning of their enduring love story.
