Tomorrow
(July
7,
2022),
it
will
be
one
year
since
the
veteran
actor
Dilip
Kumar
breathed
his
last.
While
no
one
can
fill
the
void
that
he
has
left
in
the
Hindi
Film
Industry,
her
wife
Saira
Banu
is
struggling
to
spend
every
single
day
of
her
life
without
her
'saheb'.
While
speaking
to
ETimes,
Saira
opened
up
about
Dilip
Kumar's
absence
from
her
life
and
said,
"I
wonder
how
many
of
you
who
are
reading
this
have
experienced
the
supreme
bliss
of
spending
unforgettable
moments,
days
and
years
with
the
only
man
(or
woman)
you
have
dreamed
of
as
your
life
partner.
If
you
have,
you
will
easily
feel
and
understand
the
sense
of
desolation
I
feel
today
and
every
day
from
the
time
I
wake
up,
seeing
the
empty
space
beside
me
in
the
bed
we
shared
for
over
five-
and-a-half
decades."
She
further
said
that
she
turns
her
face
away,
buries
it
in
the
pillow
and
tries
to
go
back
to
sleep,
hoping
if
she
will
open
her
eyes
again,
she
will
see
him
sleeping
by
her
side.
She
further
said
that
even
though
she
knows
the
reality,
she
will
take
time
to
come
to
terms
with
it.
"When
you
lose
the
most
precious
people
in
your
life,
I
have
reckoned
that,
more
than
the
loss,
it
is
the
painful
acceptance
of
the
fact
that
you
are
powerless
before
the
will
of
God.
The
Almighty
does
not
make
exceptions
and
we
have
no
choice
but
to
accept
his
will
in
all
humility," added
Banu.

Saira

Despite
being
heartbroken,
Saira
considers
herself
very
much
fortunate,
because
she
had
Dilip
Kumar
with
her
for
56
years
and
more.
"The
whole
world
now
knows
I
fell
in
love
with
him
at
the
age
of
12
and
I
grew
up
with
the
dream
tucked
away
in
my
mind
that
he
alone
is
the
perfect
man
for
me.
When
the
dream
came
true,
I
knew
I
was
not
his
only
admirer
and
that
I
had
jumped
the
long
queue
of
women
who
were
hoping
to
be
Mrs
Dilip
Kumar,"
averred
Banu.
