"There Can Only Be One Aamir": Saira Banu Shares Emotional Birthday Tribute for Aamir Khan

Mumbai : On the occasion of Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan’s 61st birthday on March 14, 2026, veteran actress Saira Banu penned a deeply moving tribute, hailing him as a "rare and wonderful human being." In an emotional Instagram post, the legendary actress reflected on Aamir’s decade-long bond with her and her late husband, the iconic Dilip Kumar.

Sharing nostalgic photographs of Aamir with the couple, alongside a recent picture from his visit to her home, Saira Banu described the Dangal star as a pillar of strength during her most challenging times.

Saira Banu recalled how Aamir’s respect for Dilip Kumar was never that of a distant admirer, but one born of "genuine affection." She highlighted several instances of his unwavering support:

The Biography Journey: Aamir provided "remarkable care" during the complicated process of bringing Dilip Kumar’s autobiography to life.

A Pillar During Illness: During Dilip Kumar’s hospitalization, Aamir offered "quiet companionship" in the heavy corridors of the hospital—a gesture Saira Banu says she will never forget.

Family Ties: Recalling a recent visit where Aamir was accompanied by his partner, Gauri Spratt, Banu noted that it felt like a "beloved member of the family had come calling."

Concluding her note, the 81-year-old actress emphasized that while the world celebrates the "brilliance of the artist," those close to him cherish the person he is behind the scenes. She ended her tribute with a powerful sentiment: "There can truly be only one Aamir."

Aamir Khan, currently immersed in the post-production of his upcoming home production Ek Din (starring his son Junaid Khan), received widespread wishes from the industry, but Saira Banu’s heartfelt message has touched fans across the globe.
