Looking back:.Saira Banu recalls the ‘magical night’ when Dilip Kumar proposed to her:

Veteran actress Saira Banu has been actively sharing photos on Instagram ever since her debut on the photo-sharing app.

In her recent post, Saira shared how she and her family ‘love the rain’. Saira Banu’s post also has the anecdote of the day when her actor-husband Dilip Kumar, whom she fondly called ‘Sahib’, proposed to her for marriage.

While sharing series of photos of Dilip Kumar she wrote, “‘Rain rain go to Spain!’ As a 7 year old girl child schooling in London, we all chanted this line in chorus with 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 generic chant with kids. As for her family back in Mumbai and later on as she wedded Dilip Sahib… we all loved the rain.”

Saira Banu also shared her favourite scene from Sagina, saying it is ‘Sahib’ Dilip Kumar’s ‘most spell-binding performance’.

She added, “The first shower was always a celebration and everybody 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, she was told that there are concerns on drinking rainwater because new recent studies show that there are plastic contamination environmental pollutants and bacterial parasites in the water that can make you sick!
