Saira Banu On Feeling Distressed After Dilip Kumar’s Death: ‘Not Able To Get Over The Loss, Don't Want To Step Out; Need Sahab Desperately In My Life’
Saira Banu reveals she is extremely distressed and does not feel like stepping out after Dilip Kumar’s death
Veteran actress Saira Banu is struggling to come to terms with the sad demise of her husband and legendary actor Dilip Kumar. For the unversed, the actor died after a prolonged illness at the age of 98 on July 7, 2021. Doctors at Hinduja hospital in Khar, who treated Dilip Kumar, revealed that he had advanced prostate cancer and it had spread to other organs of his body. Saira Banu has been left heartbroken by her husband’s tragic demise. In a recent interview, the actress confessed she is unable to get over Dilip Kumar's loss.
Speaking to Times Of India, Saira revealed that she is extremely distressed and does not want to step out of her home. The actress was quoted saying, “I cannot get out of the loss. How do I get out of it? I just can't. And, I was doing everything very happily too. Everything was so fine, just the two of us together. I loved sitting at home with Sahab. Anyway, I am not an outgoing person or a party person. Today, I don't want to step out. I don't know, maybe until I don't feel distressed. No point in stepping out. I wouldn’t feel lost. It is just that I need Sahab so desperately in my life.”
The veteran actress also admitted that she is not mingling with people. She is in touch only with her immediate friends. “I am lucky that a lot of people are so concerned about me. But for now, I am doing a lot of meditation and prayer. I know there have been other people in similar circumstances and have come out from that phase, but perhaps my attachment was stronger. Sahab was an extraordinary man,” Saira Banu added. ALSO READ: Saira Banu Hasn't Been Keeping Well Since Dilip Kumar’s Demise, Dharmendra And Spokesperson Faisal Farooqui Reveal
