Sanjay Dutt’s adorable crush on THIS veteran actor
On Sanjay Dutt’s birthday last year, Saira Banu dropped a nostalgic picture of him with her late husband, superstar Dilip Kumar. In the caption, she revealed the truth about ‘Baba’s’ long-standing crush on her. Saira poured her heart out and expressed, “Sanjay Dutt has always been like a family to me. My entire family, starting from Ammaji to Aapaji, to Sahib, and to me, we’ve watched him grow from a tiny toddler into the remarkable person he is today.”
The Padosan actress further added, “I still remember when Nargis Aapa would come to our house for functions, and he would accompany her – this cute, good-looking kid. Nargis Ji would then shake his (Sanjay Dutt) hands and say, “Chalo, Saira Ji ko bolo tum kya bolte ho mujhe?” And then Sanju would look at me and say, “Main Shaila Banu se shaadi karunga” in a cute little voice. Hahahah, so adorable!”
She concluded her note with heartfelt wishes on his birthday, “Many hands make light work’. And we’ve all cherished being part of his journey. He holds a special place in my heart. With all my love and blessings, I wish him a very happy birthday.”
