Shashi Kapoor Birth Anniversary: Saira Banu's heartfelt note, featuring their "playful banter, timeless friendship", takes us down memory lane

Saira Banu paints a heartwarming picture of enduring friendship and cinematic legacy in her birthday tribute to the late Shashi Kapoor. The post, shared on Saira Banu's Instagram, sheds light on a heartwarming connection that transcended films, illuminating a deep-rooted bond between the Kapoors and the Banu family.

The veteran actress' caption beautifully weaves a narrative that begins with the childhood friendship between the legendary Dilip Kumar (Saira Banu's husband) and Raj Kapoor (Shashi Kapoor's elder brother). This foundation of mutual respect and shared passion for cinema paved the way for a lifelong connection that blossomed between Saira Banu and Shashi Kapoor.

The post delves into captivating anecdotes, revealing "playful banter" during shoots and "thoughtful gestures" that solidified their "timeless friendship." Saira Banu reminisces about near misses on film projects like Dharmaputra and Shagird, highlighting how fate intervened yet their paths inevitably crossed in movies like Koi Jeeta Koi Haara and Sadiyon Se Hai Pyaar.

"I also recall, a very sweet incident, not many would know but Shashi ji loved Kayani's Shrewsbury Biscuits, he just savoured the entire pack of these biscuits all at once. When I was shooting for Purab Aur Paschim, our shoot was set up in Poona, at Raj ji's huge farm. As soon as Shashi ji knew about this he immediately came to me and said "Saira, please get me Shrewsbury Biscuits from there", and I always reciprocated his request with large packets of Shrewsbury biscuits no matter how busy I was with shooting," read an excerpt o her caption.
