Veteran actress Saira Banu took a nostalgic trip down memory lane as she shared a heartfelt post dedicated to actress Hema Malini. Along with a couple of photographs featuring the two actresses together, Saira Banu opened up on their early years in the film industry, their friendship over the decades, and memories connected to their late husbands, Dilip Kumar and Dharmendra.

In the emotional note, Saira Banu revealed that Hema Malini had recently visited her at home, a meeting that brought back memories from the 1960s.

“It does not feel so long ago that Hema had come to see me at my home, accompanied by her cousin Prabha… and yet, when I heard that she’s coming again…my heart was happy,” Saira wrote while recalling the recent meeting.

The actress then looked back at the first time she met Hema Malini in 1966 on the sets of Deewana, which starred Raj Kapoor. Describing her first impression of Hema, Saira wrote, “When she entered, she looked just as graceful, and in that instant, I was taken back to the very first time I met her in 1966, on the sets of Deewana with Raj Kapoor. Even then, I remember, I was quite simply mesmerised by her beauty there is no other word that feels as true.”
