Saira Banu arrived at the opening ceremony of a two-day film festival to celebrate Dilip Kumar’s 100th birth anniversary. After looking at Dilip Kumar's poster at the screening Banu got teary-eyed, as evident from the video that is going viral on social media.
The video shared by a paparazzi account saw Saira touching the poster of young Dilip Kumar during which she got emotional and struggled hard to hold back her tears in front of the media. During the screening, Saira wore a black-coloured suit that had beautiful embroidery all over it. The veteran actress looked adorable in the outfit and stood beside Farida Jalal and other stars who also attended the screening.
The "Dilip Kumar: Hero of Heroes" Film Festival is now in motion! The ceremonial lamp at Juhu PVR was lit by Saira Banu, Ramesh Sippy, Waheeda Rehman, Asha Parekh & others.
