Saira Banu posted a throwback photo of Dilip Kumar and Sanjay Dutt and she wrote a long note wishing the actor and revealing some bits about his bachpan. "@duttsanjay has always been like a family to me. My entire family, starting from Ammaji to Aapaji, to Sahib, and to me, we've watched him grow from a tiny toddler into the remarkable person he is today."

She then went on to say that Nargis aapa, as she fondly called Nargis Dutt, would then ask li'l Sanju to tell Saira ji what he had been telling her and he sweetly said 'Main Shaila Banu se shaadi karunga’

"I still remember when Nargis Aapa would come to our house for functions, and he would accompany her - this cute, good-looking kid...Nargis Ji would then shake his hands and say, "Chalo, Saira Ji ko bolo tum kya bolte ho mujhe?" And then Sanju would look at me and say, ‘Main Shaila Banu se shaadi karunga’ in a cute little voice. Hahahah, so adorable! I believe Sharmila Tagore and I were the top favorites of Sanju," Saira ji wrote.

"Many hands make light work." and we've all cherished being part of his journey. He holds a special place in my heart. With all my love and blessings, I wish him a very happy birthday," she ended her message.
