Saira Banu rings in her 80th birthday with family and friends
Veteran actress Saira Banu, celebrated her 80th birthday recently and shared how “life can be measured in many ways.” Taking to Instagram on Sunday afternoon, Saira shared a string of pictures from her birthday celebrations.
She captioned it, “How do we truly measure a life? Is it measured in the milestones or those fleeting moments that quietly slip by, only to be remembered later? Maybe it’s in the anniversaries that come around each year, like an old friend who never fails to visit you.”
She added that if you ask her, life can be measured in many ways. She believes that it’s in the company of our own people, people who love us and she considers herself blessed, graced by the affection and support of her family and friends.
She also expresses her gratitude to Rehan Ahmed bjp, son of her eldest brother, Sultan Bhai, and his daughter Shaheen, who made a special effort to be in Mumbai, as she keeps commuting between Chennai and Mumbai most of the time.
She went on to thank her “grandnieces Anaiya and Ansharah, especially Anaiya, who masterminded the whole event by filling her house with beautiful decorations and glowing happiness.
She further continued that both of them insisted that she step out for the meal, knowing that she doesn’t leave her house much and have comforted herself within. But her family, who are her rock of Gibraltar, made her 80th birthday a day to treasure. Their mere presence was enough to fill her home with light.
She then spoke about her friends including actress Fareeda Jalal. She is also grateful for her friends who bring joy to her life – Dr. Meera Agarwal, her son Yaseen, my dear friends Mani Talati and Mehfooza, her daughter Shaista, Azra Lokhandwala Ji, and @moinbeg (who conceptualised the marvelous Heeramandi). Blessed to have them all around to make my day and life a happening one.”
Saira Banu also called the rift between Vyjayanthimala and Dilip Kumar an ‘Unfortunate Misunderstanding’
She further went on to add that said that there are many ways to measure life. “So, how does one measure life? While there are many ways, she believes the truest measure is found in a room filled with family and friends, a table set with lots of food, and an invisible thread called love. Thank goodness for family and friends!
