Saira Banu narrated the story
Saira Banu wrote- ‘An old memory of my dream wedding 58 years ago. When “Do stars ka zameen par hai milan aaj ki raat” kept playing on the radio the whole night of 11 October. Our wedding anniversary was a day that I wished would never end. That day 58 years ago, I was so lost in imagination that if someone had said that ‘Saira has come upon you and you can fly’, I would have believed it. Our wedding was gorgeous, yet equally gorgeously messy. There was nothing extraordinary in this.
They told that their wedding lehenga was stitched at a local tailor shop and their families did not even have time to get the wedding invitations printed as everything happened very quickly.
He said, ‘If we had more time, my mother Pari Chehra Naseem Banu would have left no stone unturned. She would organize parades of designers, jewelers and who knows who else. Initially the marriage was to take place in November, but due to some reasons we had to hurry it up. Dilip Sahab called my mother from Kolkata and said, ‘You call a Maulvi and get the Nikah performed. Still, the day was full of fun moments.
He further said, ‘Dilip Sahab and I lived very close to each other and when the wedding procession reached my bungalow, his mare was descending the slope due to which the umbrella attached to it started hitting ‘Sahab’s’ face. When we were completing the rituals, a crowd of fans themselves entered my house, they had come to know that their favorite actor was getting married.
He told that there were so many people that it took two hours for them to come down from the upper floor to perform the Nikah rituals.
Saira Banu wrote, ‘And, believe it or not, we also ran out of food. Imagine, there was a shortage of food at the wedding of one of the greatest actors of all time! And fans who had invited themselves were gathering wedding souvenirs from below, whatever they could find: a spoon, a fork. Oh, it was so much fun.’
