New Delhi: Veteran actor Saira Banu got emotional as she arrived on Saturday at the film festival organised by Film Heritage Foundation to celebrate her late husband and legendary actor Dilip Kumar’s 100 birth anniversary.
As Saira arrived, she noticed the poster of Dilip Kumar and could help but touch it gently. A visibly emotional Saira held back tears on the red carpet. The two-day film festival kickstarted in Mumbai on Saturday.
Among the celebrities who attended the event to honour Dilip Kumar’s legacy were Waheeda Rehman, Asha Parekh, Divya Dutta, Ramesh Sippy and many others. During the film festival, iconic films of Dilip such as Aan (1952), Devdas (1955), Ram Aur Shyam (1967) and Shakti (1982), will be screened in over 30 cinema halls and 20 cities across the country.
Speaking about the festival, Saira had earlier told PTI, “They could not have chosen a more apt title to commemorate India’s greatest actor — ‘Dilip Kumar Hero Of Heroes’. He was my favourite hero from the time I was 12 years old when I first saw him in ‘Aan’ in technicolor. It will be a joy to watch him back on the big screen, larger than life, like he has been in my life.”
Dilip Kumar passed away on July 7, 2021 after a prolonged illness.
