For Saira Banu, birthdays have always been a moment of gratitude rather than celebration. In her first post, she wrote, “My birthday has always been such a day, not a moment for revelry alone, but it touches every thought and being that has shaped me into the person I am today.”
Today, as I step into another year, I wish to be here with all of you, to talk about Life, to relive Memories and everything that keeps Dilip Sahib close to our hearts.. pic.twitter.com/LqhVEaDzE7
