<p>It's been two years since we lost one of the iconic actors of the Indian film industry, Dilip Kumar. The legendary actor breathed his last on July 7, 2021. after a prolonged illness at the age of 98. Today, on his second death anniversary, his wife, veteran actress Saira Banu, paid a heartfelt tribute to her late husband.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Saira made her Instagram debut, and her first post was dedicated to her beloved husband. Sharing a throwback picture with Dilip&nbsp;Kumar, Banu penned a sweet note along with a few Urdu couplets.&nbsp;</p>

<p>She wrote, ''I am writing this note on the 7th of July to especially express my gratitude to the overwhelming multitude of caring well-wishers and dearest friends from the world over who have so tremendously swept me off my feet till today with their everlasting remembrance, love and respect for my Kohinoor, Dilip Kumar Sahib.''</p>

<p>She further added, "Till this day, I feel he is with me and no matter what, we will still walk the path of life together, hand in hand, one in our thoughts and being until the end of time."</p>

His death was heartbreak for many around the world and besides everyone, his wife Saira Banu, who was by his side for almost five decades, lost an integral part of life. Banu, who lost the "Kohinoor" of her life was devastated after Dilip Kumar's death on Wednesday and said that her 'reason for living' has been "snatched away." Remembering Dilip Kumar: Lesser known facts about the Bollywood legend As per the reports published in Peeping Moon, a doctor from PD Hinduja hospital claimed that Saira broke down after the actor's demise. “God snatched away my reason for living. Without Sahab, I won't be able to think about anything. Everyone, please pray," she said. Kumar and Banu was a celebrated couple of Indian cinema. The actor married Dilip Kumar on October 11, 1966, and led a blissful married life of 55 years before he breathed his last at the Hinduja Hospital on June 7, 2021. Dilip Kumar (1922-2021): Iconic dialogues from his memorable movies To note, Saira Banu was in love with Dilip Kumar from a very young age. In an interview, the veteran told first she felt attracted to him as a 12-year-old and married him when she was 22. As Dilip Kumar bids farewell, these iconic on-screen pairings will resonate with fans forever "I was not just another girl smitten by Dilip Kumar. For me, it was no castle in the air because I had given my dream the strong foundation of faith- faith in myself and faith in God," the actress had said in an interview. “I am still head over heels in love with my Kohinoor, Yousuf Sahab, the way I was when I first felt attracted to him as a 12 year-old. Ours has been as good and enduring a marriage as so many marriages that have survived the ups and downs for four decades. No marriage is perfect. How can it be, when as human beings we are not perfect? It is mutual love, respect and adoration that keep a marriage ticking," she said.
