Madhubala couldn't give..., Dilip Kumar ended the relationship, Mumtaz's shocking revelation
We all know about the love story of Dilip Kumar and Madhubala, both loved each other very much but this relationship could not reach the stage of marriage. While Madhubala married Kishore Kumar, Dilip Kumar married Saira Bano. Many things have been said about why the relationship between Madhubala and Dilip Kumar broke up, but veteran actress Mumtaz has now revealed a reason which people did not know earlier. Madhubala and Dilip Kumar were a superhit onscreen pair. The two worked together in 'Mughal-e-Azam', and were considered one of the most iconic couples of Hindi cinema. Her sister once said in an interview that they would have married if there was no court case against B.R. Chopra; the case created a rift in their relationship. However, Mumtaz said in a new interview that they separated because Madhubala could not bear children. Speaking to journalist Vicky Lalwani, Mumtaz recalled, 'Madhubala did not break up with Dilip Kumar. Dilip Kumar separated from her because she could not have children. He then married Saira Banu, who is a very nice person. She took great care of Dilip sahab while he was alive. She was his fan initially. There was a big age difference between the two, but these things do not matter when you are in love.' She further said, 'No one doubts that she loved Dilip Kumar madly. But Dilip sahab wanted a child. Perhaps he married Saira because of the desire to have a child. Madhubala herself told me this. I used to go to meet her, and she was not well at all.' Mumtaz further said, 'She used to say, 'If I loved anyone in my life, it was Yusuf. But when she came to know that I cannot have children…' she used to call him Yusuf. The doctor had said that conceiving a child could cost her her life, as she had a heart problem.' Mumtaz also said that she does not blame Dilip Kumar for this, because every man wants a child. Mumtaz further said, 'Even though he loved Madhubala, he must have thought, 'Let me try with another woman.' Sadly, he did not have a child even with Saira.' Madhubala wanted to meet Dilip Kumar after his marriage Madhubala and Dilip Kumar were in a relationship for a decade. They also worked together in films like 'Tarana', 'Amar' and 'Sangdil'. Dilip Kumar told in his autobiography that Madhubala wanted to meet him after his marriage to Saira Bano. Remembering Madhubala in his autobiography, Dilip Kumar wrote, 'After our marriage, when we were living in Madras, I got a message from Madhubala that she wanted to meet me immediately. I immediately went to tell Saira and she said that I should meet Madhubala, as she might be a little upset.' Madhubala later married Kishore Kumar, but that relationship also had a tragic end. Madhubala died in 1969 at the age of 36. Dilip Kumar died in 2021 at the age of 98.

Dilip Kumar broke up with Madhubala because she couldn't bear children, doctor told her she'd die if she tried: ‘When he found out…'
Veteran actor Mumtaz recalled a conversation that she had with the late Madhubala, about her relationship with Dilip Kumar. Madhubala worked with him on the legendary film Mughal-e-Azam, and the two were one of Hindi cinema's most iconic pairs, both on and off the screen. Her sister said in an interview once that they would've gotten married were it not for a court case that she filed against director BR Chopra; it caused a rift between the couple. However, Mumtaz said in a new interview that they broke up because she couldn't have children. Speaking to journalist Vickey Lalwani, Mumtaz recalled, 'She didn't break up with him. He broke up with her because she couldn't have children. Instead, he married Saira Banu, who is a very nice person. She took such great care of him till his dying breath. She was his fan originally. They had a huge age difference, but these things don't matter when you're in love.' She continued, 'Nobody can ever doubt that she was madly in love with him. She was madly in love with him. But Dilip saab ko aulaad chahiye thi (Dilip saab wanted a child, you see). Perhaps it was in this desperation to have a child that he married Saira. Madhubala told me herself. I would go to meet her, and she was not well at all. She would say, 'If I ever loved anyone in my life, it was Yusuf. But when he found out that I can't conceive…' She would call him Yusuf. The doctor told her that she would die in childbirth, because of her heart problem.' Mumtaz said that she doesn't blame Dilip Kumar for what he did, because every man wants a child. 'Despite being in love with her, he might have thought, 'Let me try with another woman'. It's so tragic that he didn't have a child with Saira as well,' she said, adding that Saira is a 'sweetheart'. She added, 'I feel sorry for Saira, she's a wonderful person. If they had a child, she would've been taken care of too.' For Dilip Kumar, she was an obedient daughter who treated her father's word above everything else. (Photo: Express Archives) Madhubala and Dilip Kumar were together for nearly a decade.
