Veteran actress Saira Banu took to social media to wish her dear friend and yesteryear icon Hema Malini on her birthday, penning a touching note that beautifully captured their decades-long bond and mutual admiration.
Hema Malini turns 77: Saira Banu recalls her first meeting with Dream Girl in heartfelt note; calls her “vision of grace, beauty, and quiet strength”
In her warm message, Banu described Hema as “a vision of grace, beauty, and quiet strength,” adding that she remains the “Dream Girl” both on and off screen. She fondly recalled their enduring friendship — one that has stood the test of time and is built on shared memories from the golden era of Hindi cinema.
Reflecting on their early meetings, Saira wrote, “I first met Hema in 1966, on the sets of Deewana at RK Studios, when she came along with her producer Anantswamy. I remember being instantly taken by her serene beauty and grace.” She further reminisced about their shoot at the picturesque Krishna Raj Sagar Dam, where they spent evenings chatting with their mothers, “exchanging beauty secrets and sharing laughter that echoed into the night.”
The veteran actress also recalled how her late husband, legendary actor Dilip Kumar, had introduced Hema Malini to the press in Madras. “Hema remembered how kind Sahib had been that day, his words still etched in her heart,” Saira shared.
Adding a touch of nostalgia, she mentioned Hema’s recent visit to her home and the affectionate moment when they spoke at length about their old days in the industry. She also admired the actress’s enduring charm and her graceful dance with Dharmendra on a television show, calling it a beautiful reflection of “lasting companionship.”
Concluding her note with warm wishes, Saira wrote, “Dearest Hema, may your days continue to shine with the same light and love you have always brought into the lives of others. Wishing you boundless happiness, peace, and good health always.”
The post has since resonated deeply with fans, who were moved by Saira Banu’s nostalgic anecdotes and heartfelt admiration for Hema Malin.
