Saira Banu remembers Dharmendra

Taking to her official Instagram handle, Saira Banu wrote, "The demise of Dharam ji feels as though a chapter of our shared cinematic and personal history has gently closed its pages, leaving behind a warmth that is rare to find in today’s hurried times. For me, the loss is not merely of a colleague, but he was my dear Yousuf Sahib’s “Dharam”."While remembering good old times, she also wrote, "I often return to the story he narrated countless times, with the innocence and wonder of a man who never lost his humility. In 1952, a young boy from Ludhiana touched to the core by the film Shaheed set out for Bombay with only one dream: to meet the actor who had made an impact in his mind. His heart thumped with reverence as he made his way to Pali Hill in Bandra, for that was where Dilip Sahib lived. With the courage only youth can claim, he entered the home without anyone stopping him. And there he found Yousuf Sahib, fast asleep on the sofa, the afternoon sun falling softly across his face. Dharam stood frozen in awe until Yousuf Sahib stirred awake, and the poor boy, frightened by his own boldness, ran out of the house with the swiftness of a startled deer. It became one of his favourite memories to recount, always with a shy smile."ALSO READ: Prakash Kaur: Who Is Dharmendra's First Wife?
