On the birth anniversary of celebrated and international artist MF Hussain, veteran actor Saira Banu recalled his bond with Dilip Kumar. Maqbool Fida Husain, who was born on September 17, 1915, was noted for his brightly coloured narrative paintings. He was a prominent and widely recognised Indian artist of the twentieth century.

Saira Banu took to her Instagram handle to share a picture of the late artist with the legendary actor and wrote in the caption, "Maqbool Fida Hussain was a dear friend and admirer of Sahib alongside other close friends. Often, they would meet at `The Taj Hotel Chambers` for High Tea, Lunch, Dinners, and family functions at Home, and also at midnight when Pran Saab and Satish Bhalla would honk the horn outside our house asking Sahib to wake up for a midnight drive! Ooof! We wives have to exercise patience".
