Saira was completely mesmerized by his charms.

Unlike other girls who fell for him, Saira felt different. She said that she knew that she'll be married to him one day. And Saira ji's mother Naseem Banu was an important factor in their love story as she acted as a cupid for them. And finally one day, the thing that Saira was waiting for, happened and Dilip Saab proposed to her at a long drive. Saira instantly said yes and both tied the knot when Saira was 22 years old.

Although they were in love, some people criticized them because Saira ji was nearly half of Dilip Saab's age at that time. Their relationship answered the criticism as the couple always stuck to each other. And like any love story, Dilip Saab and Saira also faced difficult times. The couple was away from each other as a Pakistani lady called Asma had entered Dilip Saab's life during the '80s. But that didn't last much longer as Saira was the one he truly loved. Thus, the couple quickly got back to each other and never left their better half's side. This lovely love story got disturbed today as unfortunately, Dilip Saab left Saira today. But his love story will forever be remembered in history. May his soul rest in peace.
