Today, on Manoj Kumar’s birthday, Saira Banu took to Instagram and shared a long post for the veteran actor. In her post, Banu talked about Kumar’s relationship with Dilip Kumar, his first film with Saira, and an interesting anecdote from ‘Purab aur Paschim’. 

The actress started by writing, “Soon after my first film, I received many offers, among which was 'SHAADI.' Here, for the first time, I played opposite Manoj ji. I was a very shy youngster and had this peculiar habit of being awkward on the sets while doing romantic numbers. Manoj ji was very understanding; he would quietly move away from the set while my solo shots were being filmed. We were both people of very few words but worked comfortably together.”
