When Saira Ji penned heartfelt post celebrating 58^th anniversary

The actress was even hospitalised some months back. Amid this, she made sure to share a heartfelt posr reminiscing her wedding moments on 58^th anniversary with Dilip Kumar. The note read, “A nostalgic reminisce from the hospital bed of my dream wedding 58 years ago. “‘Do Sitaron Ka Zameen Par Hai Milan Aaj Ki Raat,’ that’s what played on the radio all night on the 11th of October, our wedding anniversary… a day I wish had never ended. If someone had told me, ‘O Saira, you’ve got wings for real, you can fly,’ I would have believed them without hesitation. That’s how surreal that day felt, 58 autumns ago.” She then explained how wedding happened in a rush.

She concluded the note saying, “Dilip Sahib and I lived very close to one another, and when the Baraat arrived at my bungalow, his Ghodi began descending a slope, causing the umbrella on it to keep brushing against Sahib’s Sehra. As we proceeded with the rituals, hordes of fans self invited themselves into my home upon hearing that their beloved actor was getting married. There were so many people that I, the bride, took two hours to descend from the upper floor just to perform the Nikaah rituals! And, believe it or not, we even ran short of food, imagine, the wedding of one of the greatest actors had a shortage of food! And the self-invited fans were collecting wedding souvenirs from downstairs whatever they could find: a spoon, a fork. Oh, it was hilarious! Yet, I was truly on cloud nine.”
