Saira Banu shares a peek into her 80th birthday celebration with friends and family; says, “Blessed to have them all around to make my day”

Veteran actor Saira Banu turned 80 on August 23 but this is how she celebrated this milestone. On Sunday, she took to her Instagram account and dropped some pictures on her social media, sharing how she celebrated her birthday with her friends and family. Among the pictures, we also spotted Farida Jalal celebrating her 80th birthday with her. As she dropped the pictures on her IG, she backed it with a heartfelt note saying how blessed she felt to celebrate it with her loved ones.

The Padosan actor wrote, “How do we truly measure a life? Is it measured in the milestones or those fleeting moments that quietly slip by, only to be remembered later? Maybe it’s in the anniversaries that come around each year, like an old friend who never fails to visit you. If you ask me, life can be measured in many ways. I believe it’s in the company of your own people, people who love you. I consider myself blessed, graced by the affection and support of my family and friends.“

Saira ji further wrote, “I’m also grateful for my friends who bring joy to my life – Dr Meera Agarwal, Farida Jalal (the exceptionally wonderful actor and my great friend), her son Yaseen, my dear friends Mani Talati and Mehfooza, her daughter Shaista, Azra Lokhandwala Ji, and @moinbeg (who conceptualized the marvellous Heeramandi). Blessed to have them all around to make my day and life a happening one.”

“So, how does one measure life? While there are many ways, I believe the truest measure is found in a room filled with family and friends, a table set with lots of food, and an invisible thread called love. Thank goodness for family and friends,” and ended by saying.
