“Need Sahab so desperately in my life,” says Saira Banu after Dilip Kumar’s death

Veteran actor Saira Banu has opened up about her life after the death of her husband, legendary actor Dilip Kumar.

Kumar left a huge void in millions of hearts after he passed away on 7 July, 2021, at the age of 98, after a long ailment.


In her first interview after Kumar’s death, the actress said that she cannot get out of the loss and needs Dilip ‘desperately’ in her life.

Saira also said that she does not want to step out of home and that she is not mingling with people but only with her ‘immediate friends’.

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 who have come out from that phase, but perhaps my attachment was stronger. Sahab was an extraordinary man.”

Brooklyn Beckham told parents to contact him only through lawyers amid family rift

Highlights

  • Brooklyn Beckham requested that David and Victoria Beckham contact him only via lawyers during a period of strained relations
  • Legal letters were exchanged, though no formal action was taken
  • The request followed what Brooklyn viewed as damaging briefings about his wife, Nicola Peltz Beckham

A breakdown that moved beyond private disagreement

Relations within the Beckham family deteriorated sharply last summer, reaching a point where Brooklyn Beckham asked his parents to communicate with him only through legal representatives. The request marked one of the most serious moments in an already strained relationship between the eldest Beckham son and his parents.

Sources say the instruction led to an exchange of letters between legal teams at Schillings, representing Brooklyn, and Harbottle & Lewis, who act for David and Victoria Beckham. While no legal proceedings were initiated, the correspondence made clear that Brooklyn did not want direct contact or public references to him from his parents, including on social media.
