As years morph and time advances, a fresh perspective breathes new life into our existence. Amidst this perpetual change, there remains a constant: the presence of those who have shared our life's journey with us." Remembering her late husband and film legend Dilip Kumar, Saira Banu added in her caption, "For Sahib and me, Aamir has been this unchangeable presence. To this day, Aamir still holds a deep admiration for Dilip Sahib and everything he brought to Indian Cinema. It's mutual, really. Sahib has always had a genuine appreciation for Aamir's acting brilliance and how he flawlessly brings characters to life on screen.

Personally, I've always been moved by Aamir's artistry - not just in his films, but also in the way he's embraced the role of a family member in Sahib's and my life."Saira Banu added in her post, "Aamir has been with me during some really tough times. I remember when I was putting together Dilip Sahib's autobiography, The Substance And The Shadow, Aamir stepped up in every way imaginable, offering support and lending a helping hand. It's moments like these that make you truly appreciate the kind of person he is, going beyond just the glitz and glamour of the film industry. "She signed off the post with these words.
