Saira Banu recalls love note written by Dilip Kumar on his death anniversary: ‘Sahib wasn't just my life's greatest joy…'
Taking to her Instagram handle, Saira Banu shared a video featuring everyone's favorite Dilip Kumar. The video featured several clips of him from different movies, as well as many unseen pictures. She also put the veteran star's song 'Akele hi akele chala hai' in the background.
In her long note, the actress wrote, 'The dearth of Sahib could never go… and yet, I am still with him. One in thought, in mind, in life. In this lifetime, and in the next, my soul has learnt to walk beside him even in his absence.'
Saira Banu further added that every year, she cradles her late husband's memories on his death anniversary. She also stated that his well-wishers, admirers, friends, and family never forget this day, and this makes her feel that there will always be space for the veteran star in everyone's hearts.
Saira further went on to call Dilip Kumar 'life's greatest joy.' Stating a fact about him, Banu said, 'He adored sports played cricket and football like he'd been born on the field and often said, 'If not destiny, I would have been a national-level sportsman.' But destiny had its own plans and gave the world the greatest actor of all time instead.'
Recalling a fun incident where Kumar left her a loving note and called her an aunty, the actress stated, 'There was one evening I remember clearly our home filled with the strains of classical music, the darbar in full flow. Sahib quietly slipped away, craving a moment of rest. Later, I found a note he'd left behind, 'Feeling sleepy, what do you suggest, Aunty?... Yours 100%.' He made the ordinary moments eternal.'
Dilip Kumar passed away on July 7, 2021, when he was 98 years old after suffering from a long illness.

Apoorva Mukhija Says She Didn't Struggle In Mumbai, Opens Up About Earnings: 'YouTube Se Paise...'
Last Updated: Apoorva Mukhija said she always lived in a 2 BHK in Mumbai, which she paid for with her own earnings. Apoorva Mukhija, aka The Rebel Kid, got candid about her earnings as an influencer in Farah Khan's latest vlog. Apoorva has been on everyone's radar since the India's Got Latent controversy. She then won hearts on The Traitors. After the show's success, Farah Khan invited Apoorva home for her cooking vlog with her chef, Dilip. In the vlog, Apoorva opened up about growing up in Kurukshetra, living in Noida, and then moving to Mumbai when she was 21. When Farah asked if she struggled in Mumbai, Apoorva said, 'Not really. I always lived in a 2 BHK here." Farah asked, 'So your dad helped you with rent?" Apoorva proudly said, 'No, I did it all by myself." Farah Khan gave her a high-five. Apoorva added, 'Aapko toh pata hi hai, YouTube se kitne paise aate hai." Apoorva mentioned that whatever sum she earned as her yearly salary in her old job, she made that amount in two months via Instagram. This gave her the needed push to quit her job and pursue content creation full time. This comes shortly after reports about her alleged earnings surfaced on the Internet. Business Today reported that she makes Rs 2.5 lakh every day, and has built a 'Rs 41 crore empire'. The post mentions, 'According to Business Today, Apoorva Mukhija makes Rs 2.5 lakh every single day, and with her savage online alter ego 'Kaleshi Aurat', she's built a Rs 41 crore empire, charging up to 6 lakh for a reel ad, 2 lakh for a 30-second story." Apoorva Mukhija then took to her Instagram stories to set the record straight. Reacting to this report, Apoorva simply wrote, 'Galat hai bhai?????" In a conversation with Bollywood Bubble, Apoorva said, 'I am everywhere, but my net worth is not even close to 41 crore. I'm not even making one-tenth of that." She added, 'My mom sent me a screenshot and asked, 'Kaha hai ye saare paise? Kyu nahi hum ghar khareed paa rahe hai?' I asked her if she's okay. Nahi hai humare pass itne saare paise." She further mentioned that no brand is paying her the money that she wants, and they aren't agreeing to her rates. First Published:

'I am totally fine when other moms give positive advice and I'm always open to feedback to an extent. But this woman (whose profile pic is of her holding her own baby) decided to DM me this," she wrote. The reality star expressed shock and disappointment over the attack, especially from another mother. "What world are we living in? I understand that I put my life out there publicly, which I honestly want to stop doing when extremely rude and harmful messages toward my baby are sent to me. Also, you yourself are a mom.

She also thanked her followers for flooding her inbox with support. 'I honestly cried reading all your messages.

You gave me the love, support, and kindness that I believe in!"
