Dilip Kumar to celebrate 96th birthday with family and friends

Bollywood’s legendary actor Dilip Kumar who turned 96 on Tuesday, will celebrate his special day with his close friends and family members. Earlier family friend Faisal Farooqui had revealed in an interview that the actor’s wife Saira Banu is hosting a dinner for family and close friends on the Tragedy Kings birthday.

Speaking to IANS Faisal said, “Dilip Saab is not a big fan of celebrating birthdays. He has not done that in a very long time and birthdays are occasions where the family gets together and some close friends get together. So, Saab’s brothers and sisters would come, (his wife) Saira Banuji’s extended family will come and then my family and some close friends gather together. Even when Saab was active socially and personally, he was not fond of big celebrations. So, doing justice to that tradition, Sairaji has not planned anything big, she will host a dinner with around a dozen people at their residence .”

So it was a small gathering. Saab cut the cake few minutes ago. I guess all the flash irritated him big time. May Allah bless Dilip Saab with a longgggg and healthyyyyy life. -FF pic.twitter.com/bh5lsxhk86

Dilip Kumar’s health is a cause of concern for his fans but his wife Saira Banu has stood by him like a rock and personally supervises his diet.

Faisal further added, “He is recuperating in such a way that he does not need any hospitalization now. He is at home and has a restricted diet, which is taken care of by Saira Banuji.”

Wishing the legendary actor a very Happy Birthday and may he celebrate many more to come.
