Veteran actor Saira Banu has talked about being ‘extremely distressed’ after the demise of her significant other, actor Dilip Kumar. In a new interview, she said that she can’t escape the loss and needs Dilip ‘desperately’ in her life. Saira also said that she doesn’t want to step out of the home. She also said that she isn’t mingling with people however just with her ‘immediate friends’.

Talking with Times of India, Saira said, “I am extremely distressed; I cannot get out of the loss. How do I get out of it? I just can’t. And, I was doing everything very happily too. Everything was so fine, just the two of us together. I loved sitting at home with Sahab. Anyway, I am not an outgoing person or a party person. Today, I don’t want to step out. I don’t know, maybe until I don’t feel distressed. No point in stepping out when…” When prompted, Saira added that she needs ‘Sahab so desperately in my life’.

She added, “Frankly, yes, I am not mingling with people. Maybe only with my immediate friends. I am lucky that a lot of people are so concerned about me. But for now, I am doing a lot of meditation and prayer. I know there have been other people in similar circumstances and have come out from that phase, but perhaps my attachment was stronger. Sahab was an extraordinary man.”
