Saira Banu recalls the precise moment when Dilip Kumar proposed to her read here


Saira Banu and Dilip Kumar's love story is a timeless one. The actress who has recently joined social media keeps sharing little snippets from their life that are a treat to her audience who probably would love to know more about the greatest actor ever.

Her latest post has a series of pictures where she is seen enjoying the monsoons with the love of her life. She penned down a long caption that also reveals the precise moment when the late Dilip Kumar had proposed to her. It read, "Rain rain go to Spain!” As a 7-year-old girl child schooling in London, we all chanted this line in chorus with my friends ceremoniously! Heaven knows why but this was so common with the erratic English weather... you never know when the sun shines and next the rain. This was the common chant with us kids. As for my family here back in Mumbai and later on as I wedded Dilip Sahib... we all loved the rain."

"The first shower was always a celebration and each one of us would rush to our garden terraces to soak up in the first downpour of the season and we would place huge drums of utensils to collect the pure pristine water! Now, I am told that there are concerns about drinking rainwater because recent studies show that there are plastic contamination, environmental pollutants and bacterial parasites in the water that can make you sick!

Sahib loved the rain and if he was out of the house in a meeting and there would be a first shower...he would immediately call me with delight, "Saira it's raining!”

In fact, many years ago as we walked by Juhu Beach in the quiet of a wondrous night, there was a sudden shower of rain and he protectively took off his jacket and draped it around my shoulders... that was the magical night that we sat in his car and he asked me... "Will you marry me?”

In later years, he happily bought beautiful land at a hill station in Maharashtra... Sahib was always a farmer at heart, the proud son of a much respected Pathan fruit merchant in Peshawar.

We would walk miles in the rain on the stony and green land geared up with our umbrellas dressed protectively in our mackintoshes, picking up shiny grazed pebbles and throwing them as far as we could in competition outdoing each other... of course, Sahib would always win... I always ran and collected these stones... and I still have and cherish each stone that he flew to the wind.

Indeed a heartwarming story and a special one at that.
