However, following his marriage to Saira Banu in 1966, Kumar reportedly moved out of the bungalow and resided at her residence. Earlier this month, July 2024, Dilip Kumar’s wife, Saira Banu, penned an emotional post remembering him on his death anniversary. She expressed gratitude to all of his admirers and wrote, “It makes me happy that they all remember our important dates and pray for his well-being in the hereafter for Dilip Sahib is an inspiration for Six generations of actors as also for the coming generations.” She added, “He was a fun-loving person, always calling me 'Aunty' and laughing. Yet, beneath the jests, laughter, and those heartfelt notes, there lay pure love. Dilip Sahib is forever….May Allah keep him in his love and blessings…Aameen!"
