Saira Banu Shares Throwback Pics From This 1974 Film Featuring Dilip Kumar. See Her Beautiful Post

"I think it is one of Sahib's most spellbinding and enthralling performances," wrote Saira Banu

Veteran actress Saira Banu, who has been consistent in doling out stories and anecdotes from her younger days in the film industry, treated her fans on Sunday afternoon to yet another tale from the time when her husband Dilip Kumar and she were filming their 1974 film Sagina. The 78-year-old actress shared some monochrome still from the film alongside an extensive caption which started with her explaining the context of the film and ended with her revealing her favourite scene from it. It obviously featured her late husband, Dilip Kumar.

Saira Banu began her post with, "Sagina is one of my most loved films. It is based on the true story of the labour movement. Sagina, a factory labourer...is an honest, aggressive and loveable character who was the first to fight against the tyranny of the British bosses in the tea gardens of Northern-Eastern India. Sagina becomes a Welfare Officer and brings about justice."

In the later paragraphs, a smitten Saira Banu spoke about the outdoor badminton court that her late husband Dilip Kumar set up as part of the cast and crew's leisurely activity. She continued, "I was so happy when Sahib and revered Tapan Sinha worked together... they were such good friends and like-minded that they brought ease and cordiality while filming "Sagina" in the most relaxed atmosphere at Gayabari where we worked in the outdoors. The first thing that Sahib set up in the garden was a Badminton court for all the team the shooting to play together in the evenings and then cosily huddle in the house to sing and joke together turn by turn."
