Saira Banu reveals how she was jealous of Dilip Kumar's proximity with Vyjayanthimala; 'took a pair of scissors and'
In a recent Instagram post, Saira Banu has revealed she was jealous of Dilip Kumar’s proximity with Vyjayanthimala, and shared many interesting anecdotes from the glorious era of Hindi cinema.
She wrote- “In one such magazine, there was this photo of “MADHUMATI” which was considered bold at that time where Sahib was romantically resting his face on Vyjayantimala’s forehead. It was a beautiful photo and in my childishness, I got so jealous of Sahib’s proximity to her face that I took a pair of scissors and deftly started to snip away that portion of the photograph.”
She added, “Just imagine! I am hysterical with laughter when I recall this. Until then I had never seen her in any film and as fate would have it I grew up to meet, admire, and associate with her as a member of my family. There are many interesting memories with her wherein I hold “Akka’ in high esteem and shall narrate it one day.”
On her bond with Vyjayanthimala
To me, this particular memory of 1958, when I was a young girl, is embarrassing to the tee because today, down the years my association with my favourite filmstar Vyjayanthimala has turned into an alliance wherein she is “Akka” (elder sister) to me and we speak to each other every other week.
