He further added, "I cherish and remember every time we’ve met in vivid detail and you have always loved me like your own. Love you tooo much. Have a good one Dilip Sahib."

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." 

Earlier, the veteran stars -- Saira Banu and Dilip Kumar -- did not celebrate their wedding anniversary too due to the deaths in the family. The two tied the knot on October 11.
