Earlier, Dilip Kumar's wife Saira Banu had told a tabloid that there will have a quiet birthday celebration for the veteran actor this year as he lost his two brothers to COVID-19 a few months ago.
"I didn't celebrate Eid, Diwali or any festival this year because of the human losses we have suffered this year due to the fatal flu epidemic. We have also had two tragedies in the family - Saheb's younger brothers Ahsan and Aslam, who fell prey to COVID-19. We will have a quiet birthday with our friends and family with well-wishers staying at home and praying and wishing us from the safety of their homes," the Padosan actress was quoted as saying by ETimes.
Meanwhile, a few days before Dilip Kumar's birthday, Saira had opened up about the legend's health and said, "He's not too well. He's weak. At times, he walks into the hall and back to his room. His immunity is low. Pray for his welfare. We are grateful to God for each day."
