'As Dilip Sahib stepped out of car, I was astonished to see former PM himself' : Saira Banu recalls chance encounter with Manmohan Singh

Veteran actress Saira Banu has expressed profound grief over the passing of former Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh, offering an emotional tribute to the esteemed statesman. 


In her heartfelt message, Saira Banu reminisced about a personal encounter with Dr. Singh alongside her late husband, legendary actor Dilip Kumar. She shared an old photograph featuring herself, Dilip Kumar, and Dr. Manmohan Singh on her Instagram, emphasizing the former Prime Minister's dignified presence and exceptional humility.


Saira Banu said Dr. Manmohan Singh, a statesman whose dignity and commitment to public service defined an era, has left us. His legacy is etched in the annals of Indian history, an ode to wisdom, resilience, and belief in the power of inclusive growth.


Saira said she vividly recall a chance encounter with former PM, alongside Dilip Sahib and Sultan Bhai.


As Dilip Sahib stepped out of the car, I was astonished to see the former Prime Minister himself, with a gentle smile, approaching to welcome him personally.


Saira said that the scene that followed was equally heartwarming. Later when we entered his chamber, there was only one chair around a small table that we could see in the pictures.


Without a moment’s hesitation, Dr. Singh stepped aside, picked up another chair, and graciously offered it to Dilip Sahib. This simple act, this quiet gesture of respect, spoke volumes about the man.


The veteran actress said that today, as the nation mourns his passing, we mourn the loss of a reflection of humility, wisdom, and the finest of human manners. May his soul rest in eternal peace.
