Saira Banu recalls how Dilip Kumar kept her on toes

Veteran star Saira Banu on Monday got nostalgic and shared an unseen picture with the legendary actor Dilip Kumar accompanied by a heartfelt anecdote.

Taking to Instagram, she shared the post and wrote, "Get set... ready and GO...!!Our lives were full of action... Sahib being the philanthropist and endearing person that he always was for all mankind, we were constantly going out to attend functions and get-togethers for the benefit of the needy such as The National Association for the Blind... the Physically Handicapped... The War Widows etc. He kept me on my toes and would be ready in a jiffy... I had to keep running to keep pace with him... If I were late, I could hear the car horn downstairs screaming away to get me going! Will in future share his forays into shopping with me..."


In the picture, Dilip could be seen adjusting his tie with one hand and wrapping his other arm around Saira. She placed her head on his shoulder and her arm across his chest. The couple is seen smiling as they pose for the camera.

Saira donned a pink outfit while Dilip opted for a white shirt, a striped tie, a grey jacket, and grey trousers.

Soon after she dropped the picture, fans flooded the comment section with red heart emoticons.

"My all-time favourite couple," a user wrote.

Another user commented, "Mashallah what a lovely couple, a match made in heaven."

Since her debut on Instagram, Saira Banu has been sharing pictures and anecdotes about herself and her late husband-actor Dilip Kumar.

John Lithgow as Dumbledore? HBO's 'Harry Potter' reboot just made a game-changing move

John Lithgow has officially confirmed that he will portray Albus Dumbledore in HBO's upcoming Harry Potter series. The show, an adaptation of J.K. Rowling’s books, aims to bring the beloved story to a new generation on the small screen. While rumours swirled last week about Lithgow’s involvement, the veteran actor has now put all speculation to rest.

In an interview, Lithgow revealed that accepting the role was a tough call due to the long-term commitment it demands. At 79, he acknowledged that this project will likely define the final chapter of his career. “It came as a complete surprise. I was at the Sundance Film Festival when I got the call. It wasn’t an easy decision—this is going to be a major part of my life for the next several years. But I’m thrilled to be part of something so special.”

BBC's Gaza documentary ban sparks outrage: 500+ celebrities speak out

Over 500 media personalities, including Gary Lineker, Anita Rani, Riz Ahmed, and Miriam Margolyes, have criticised the BBC for removing a documentary about children in Gaza.

The film, Gaza: How to Survive a War Zone, was taken off BBC iPlayer after the broadcaster discovered that its 13-year-old narrator is the son of a Hamas official. The BBC stated that this information had not been disclosed by the production company and that further checks were needed before deciding whether to reinstate the programme.

An open letter from Artists for Palestine UK condemned the decision, calling it a "racist" and "dehumanising" move. The letter urged the BBC not to bow to pressure and to ensure the film remains accessible to the public. Supporters argue that the documentary provides an essential look at the realities faced by Palestinian children and that political interference should not dictate editorial decisions.

Sonakshi Sinha recently addressed the speculation surrounding her marriage to Zaheer Iqbal, pointing out that their union was never about religion but about love, respect, and understanding.

In a candid conversation, Sonakshi shared, “We never focused on religion. We’re two people in love who wanted to spend our lives together, and that’s what we did.” She made it clear that neither she nor Zaheer felt the need to impose their religious practices on each other. “He doesn’t push his beliefs on me, and I don’t push mine on him. We respect each other’s traditions and cultures, and that’s what matters.”
