The world will remember Dilip Kumar as a cinema legend but for his grandniece Sayyeshaa Saigal, the late actor will always remain her "Phuponana". On July 7, an era ended with Dilip Kumar's death in Mumbai. He was 98. Saira Banu's grandniece, actress Sayyeshaa Saigal, remembered Dilip Kumar with a heart-warming post and a bunch of childhood memories. Mourning her granduncle, Sayyeshaa took a trip down memory lane and zeroed in on one of her favourite throwback photos with Dilip Kumar. In her tribute post to Dilip Kumar, Sayyeshaa Saigal wrote: "I'm blessed to have spent so much of my childhood with the legend who the world knows as Dilip Kumar." In her emotional post, Sayyeshaa poured her heart out and added: "For me he will always remain my warm-hearted Phuponana, with whom I sang and danced, learnt so much from and loved to bits! It's an end of an era!" Sayyeshaa's post is a throwback photo of a younger version of herself dancing with the legendary actor.
