Last year, in an Instagram post,
Saira Banu
shared fond anecdotes from some memorable meetings between Dharmendra and her late husband, the legendary actor Dilip Kumar. In the post, she recalled Dharmendra's second meeting with Dilip, revealing that the 'Hathyar' star had managed to secure an appointment with him through the help of his sister, Farida.
Banu also mentioned that following that meeting, Dilip Kumar and Dharmendra formed such a strong bond that Dharmendra was always welcome to walk into Dilip's home without any formality. "Since then, Dharam Ji has always walked into Sahib's house without ceremony or appointments. Be it midnight or day, Sahib always welcomed him. He became the beacon of light in Dharam Ji's life when stardom and success came to him and he did not know how to handle them.
"
Dilip Kumar, known as the 'Tragedy King' of Hindi cinema, passed away on July 7, 2021. His unparalleled legacy includes classic films like 'Mughal-e-Azam,' 'Devdas,' 'Naya Daur,' and 'Ganga Jamuna.'

A spiritual sequel to Aamir's beloved 2007 hit Taare Zameen Par, the film has emerged as one of the biggest successes of the year, marking not only the comeback of the superstar but also the comedy-drama genre which was struggling post-pandemic.
