Veteran actor Saira Banu has been regularly sharing photos on Instagram ever since her debut on the photo-sharing app. In her latest post, Saira shared how she and her family ‘love the rain’. Saira Banu’s post also has the story of the day when her actor-husband Dilip Kumar, whom she fondly called ‘Sahib’, proposed to her for marriage.
Saira shared a series of photos of Dilip Kumar and wrote, “‘Rain rain go to Spain!’ As a 7 year old girl child schooling in London, we all chanted this line in chorus with my friends ceremoniously! Heaven knows why but this was so common with the erratic English weather… you never know when the sun shines and next the rain. This was the common chant with us kids. As for my family here back in Mumbai and later on as I wedded Dilip Sahib… we all loved the rain.”
She added, “The first shower was always a celebration and each one of us would rush to our garden terraces to soak up in the first downpour of the season and we would place huge drums of utensils to collect the pure pristine water! Now, I am told that there are concerns about drinking rainwater because new recent studies show that there are plastic contamination environmental pollutants and bacterial parasites in the water that can make you sick!”
“Sahib loved the rain and if he was out of the house in a meeting and there would be a first shower…he would immediately call me with delight, “Saira it’s raining!” ,” she added.
Saira then shared, “Infact, many years ago as we walked by Juhu Beach in the quiet of a wondrous night, there was a sudden shower of rain and he protectively took off his jacket and draped it around my shoulders… that was the magical night that we sat in his car and he asked me… “Will you marry me?” ”
“In later years, he happily bought a beautiful land at a hill station in Maharashtra… Sahib was always a farmer at heart, the proud son of a much respected Pathan fruit merchant in Peshawar. We would walk miles in the rain on the stony and green land geared up with our umbrellas dressed protectively in our mackintoshes, picking up shiny grazed pebbles and throwing them as far as we could in competition outdoing each other… of course, Sahib would always win… I always ran and collected these stones… and I still have and cherish each stone that he flew to the wind,” she concluded.
