Meanwhile, each year wife Saira Banu plans an intimate yet lavish bash for the veteran star, this year, she reveals there are no plans for a big celebration as the two have not yet come to terms with the passing away of Dilip Kumar's brothers Ahsan bhai and Aslam bhai, who lost their lives to COVID-19 earlier this year.
Moreover, Saira shares that the legendary star never remembers his birthday and only recalls that it's his special day when he sees flowers from his well-wishers lining up the drawing-room and the phone keeps ringing constantly.
Saira told Mid Day in an interview, "We have had a catastrophe this year. Dilip sahab lost his two brothers. He doesn't keep well, neither do I. It's a difficult time for us, so there is no question of a big celebration. We will simply thank the Lord for the gift of life and health."
While sharing an update on Dilip Kumar's health, the Padosan actor said in another interction, "He's not too well. He's weak. At times, he walks into the hall and back to his room. His immunity is low. Pray for his welfare. We are grateful to God for each day."
She concluded by saying, "It is out of love and not duress that I look after Dilip Saab. I am not looking for praises to be called a devoted wife. Just to touch him and cuddle him is the world's best thing that's happening to me. I adore him and he is my breath itself."
