Saira Banu doesn't want to make a come back
Are
you
planning
to
come
up
with
a
biography
on
Dilipsaab?
Right
now,
I
am
busy
producing
a
serial
called
Stree,
which
is
on
air
on
Doordarshan.
It
deals
with
the
subject
of
empowerment
of
women,
which
has
been
a
subject
very
close
and
dear
to
me.
Journalist
Udaya
Tara
Nair
is
helping
me
come
up
with
a
biography
on
Saab
too.
I'd
say
that
being
with
Yusuf
Saab
has
taught
me
a
lot.
I
was
far
too
immature
for
my
age
before
I
married
him.
In
contrast,
today's
young
kids
on
the
block
in
Bollywood
are
very
smart
and
intelligent,
thanks
to
the
total
ambience
these
days
and
the
exposure
they
get
though
television
Why
did
you
turn
down
Ashutosh
Gowarikar's
offer
to
cast
you
in
Jodhaa
Akbar
as
Hrithik
Roshan's
mother?
I
said
no
politely
because
Yusufsaab
and
I
need
each
other
now
at
this
stage
of
our
lives.
We
have
to
fend
for
each
other
now
though
earlier
we
had
my
mother;
my
grand
mother
and
my
brother
who
were
staying
with
us.
Now
I
have
a
different
set
of
priorities.
I
may
be
abnormal
but
the
fact
is
that
I
do
not
miss
acting
at
all.
I
cannot
deny
the
truth
that
my
life
has
been
a
bed
of
roses,
thanks
to
my
gorgeous
husband.
Today
I
do
not
want
to
seek
glorification
by
facing
the
camera
and
acting
once
again,
all
over.
Instead,
I
want
to
have
memories
of
Saab
and
me
together.
I
would
rather
say
that
serving
my
husband
a
cup
of
coffee
in
the
morning
will
be
more
rewarding
and
enjoyable
than
appreciation
for
my
performance.
Do
you
and
Dilip
Saab
manage
to
catch
up
with
new
films
now?
Saab
and
I
do
not
see
many
films
these
days.
I
think
the
last
film
we
saw
was
Black.
It
was
a
beautiful
film.
Saab
loved
it
so
much
that
he
sent
a
note
to
Amitabh
Bachchan
after
Rani
Mukerji
arranged
a
screening
of
the
film.
Though
the
film
depressed
me
so
much
that
I
came
out
of
the
auditorium
not
once
or
twice
but
thrice,
the
film
touched
me.
Saab
likes
both
Rani
as
well
as
Kareena.
In
fact,
recently
when
I
told
Kareena
that
she
is
a
favorite
of
Saab,
she
was
on
seventh
heaven.
What
have
you
to
say
regarding
the
remake
classic
hits
like
Devdas
and
Don?
I
am
not
a
diplomat.
I
really
like
Shah
Rukh
Khan.
In
fact,
though
he
is
like
a
son
to
us,
I
still
wonder
why
he
should
act
in
remakes
like
Devdas
and
Don.
I
made
it
a
point
not
to
see
Devdas.
I
cannot
tell
a
lie
and
say
it
was
nice.
It
is
a
bad
trend.
I
subscribe
to
the
view
that
you
can
neither
replace
the
old
stars
nor
touch
the
classics.
I
asked
Sanjay
Leela
Bhansali
why
he
went
in
for
a
remake.
Is
there
a
dearth
of
talent
in
our
country
that
we
cannot
make
beautiful
films
like
Black
and
Life
is
Beautiful?
