Dilip Kumar and Saira Banu acted in numerous films together. One of them was Duniya. Produced by Yash Johar under Dharma Productions, the film had a special appearance by the veteran actress who had quit acting after marrying 'Sahib'.

Recalling the making of Duniya, Saira Banu penned an anecdote on Instagram. She wrote, "To think of ‘DUNIYA’ release this day is to welcome a hundred beautiful memories. Years before I starred in this as ‘Special Guest Appearance” when I had given up my acting work, which was my love, because I was not getting enough time to be at home to share the beautiful life I had embarked upon by being fortunate enough and blessed by God to have married Dilip Sahib the Emperor."
