In an exclusive conversation on September 2, Faisal Farooqui, Saira Banu and late Dilip Kumar's family friend, said, “She is quite broken since the departure of Dilip Sahab. She is a woman who has lived every moment in the last 55 years with him. You and I can only feel this pain. But there has been a vacuum in her life. It may be that his sorrow and the stress is bothering her.”.
