However, after their marriage in 1966, Dilip Ji started sleeping better and even playfully called Saira Banu his “sleeping pill” and “pillow”. Saira Banu mentioned that Dilip Kumar had a deep appreciation for music and would often sneak away from musical gatherings at their home to get some sleep.
On one such occasion, the legend wrote a cute note to Saira Banu saying, “Feeling sleepy, what do you suggest, Aunty? …Yours 100%”. Saira Banu expressed that beneath the jests and laughter, there lay pure love between them.
