The Film Heritage Foundation is celebrating Dilip Kumar's birth anniversary by screening his films on December 10 and 11 in PVR. The film festival kicked off today in the presence of Saira Banu, Waheeda Rehman, Asha Parekh, Ramesh Sippy, Rohan Sippy, R. Balki, Prem Chopra, Ayub Khan and other veterans from the industry. Saira Banu gave an emotional speech before the film screening, that left everyone teary-eyed.
Saira Banu started off by saying, "I will never be able to say that he was, he is. He is always there with me and his fans. I can see so many young people are here today for the screening. They love him and they look at him as their Guru because of the unparalleled work Dilip Saab has done."
"Great stars will come, and great stars will, but there will never be another Dilip Kumar. That is my firm belief. And even a man like Amitabh Bachchan, who is one of the greatest stars in the country, refers to Dilip Saab as his reference point for acting," she concluded, and the entire auditorium started clapping.
