her “simplicity in personal life”,

She wrote in her post, “Happy Birthday Waheeda Aapa”! Saira revealed that she had known Waheeda since long, as her mother and the latter stayed in the same building. She has known her for long as her mother Naseem Banuji and Waheeda Aapa resided in the very same building at Nepean Sea Road. The first time she saw Waheeda Aapa was at a function in an Auditorium where the Chief Guest was Dilip Sahib, whom she was dying to see at any given opportunity.
Waheeda Rehman who made her acting debut in 1955 gained popularity with Guru Dutt’s films including ‘Pyaasa’, ‘Kaagaz Ke Phool’, ‘Chaudhvin Ka Chand’, and ‘Sahib Bibi Aur Ghulam’.
