Saira Banu, who recently made her Instagram debut, has shared a post on the photo-sharing app. In it, she has spoken about her and Dilip Kumar’s love for the monsoon. The veteran actress also posted several images of Dilip Kumar and her in the rain.
However, what grabbed our attention was the bit about how Devdas actor proposed to Saira Banu on a rainy night. Saira Banu and Dilip Kumar got married on October 11, 1966. Dilip Kumar passed away on July 7, 2021. Saira Banu and the legendary actor worked together in around five films.
Saira wrote, “Rain rain go to Spain! As a 7-year-old girl child schooling in London, we all chanted this line in chorus with my friends ceremoniously! Heaven knows why but this was so common with the erratic English weather… you never know when the sun shines and next the rain. This was the common chant with us kids.”“As for my family here back in Mumbai and later on as I wedded Dilip Sahib… We all loved the rain.
The first shower was always a celebration and each one of us would rush to our garden terraces to soak up in the first downpour of the season and we would place huge drums of utensils to collect the pure pristine water! Now, I am told that there are concerns about drinking rainwater because new recent studies show that there are plastic contamination environmental pollutants and bacterial parasites in the water that can make you sick,” she added.
