On October 11, 2025, veteran actor Saira Banu delighted fans by sharing three rare photographs from her wedding with the legendary Dilip Kumar, taking her followers on a tender journey back to “one of the most cherished evenings” of her life. Her heartfelt caption revived memories of a time when love stories were written in simplicity, not spectacle.
Saira Banu relives magic of her “unscripted, imperfect wedding” with Dilip Kumar in throwback post: “Nothing about that day was extravagant”
A Nostalgic Reflection
Marking the 59th anniversary of their marriage, Saira Banu described her wedding night as dreamlike, filled with warmth, chaos, and timeless romance. The couple’s wedding, much like their love story, was unplanned yet perfect. “The Nikaah was meant for November, but destiny had other plans,” she wrote, recalling Dilip Kumar’s phone call from Calcutta that changed everything in an instant.
A Ceremony of Simplicity and Soul
Unlike today’s star-studded weddings, Saira Banu’s special day stood out for its modesty. Her bridal outfit was hand-stitched by a local tailor, there were no ornate invitations or designer labels — just heartfelt excitement and family joy. The actor painted a vivid picture of the moment Dilip Kumar’s Baraat arrived down a slope, his umbrella brushing against his Sehra — a moment that still makes her smile six decades later.
Chaos, Laughter, and Unforgettable Joy
As word spread that Dilip Kumar was getting married, fans and well-wishers filled the house, turning the intimate ceremony into a spontaneous celebration. So large was the crowd that the bride herself took two hours to make her way to the Nikaah, and guests began pocketing small household items as keepsakes from what felt like a fairytale.
In her post, Saira Banu recalled that the song ‘Do Sitaron Ka Zameen Par Hai Milan Aaj Ki Raat’ floated through the night like a blessing, echoing the joy in her heart.
