For veteran actor Saira Banu, the 99th birthday of her late husband, actor Dilip Kumar will be a day of quietly remembering the ‘lively and vibrant’ man she was married to for 55 years. Dilip, who would have turned 99 on Saturday, died on July 7 due to prolonged illness.

Saira said though it is a ‘terrible vacuum’ to not have him around physically, she still believes that he is walking side by side with her. “I will do the prayers, remember him and I want the day to be very quiet. I want to visit the Juhu garden (Juhu Qabrastan) where he is (buried),” Saira told PTI.
