Veteran actor Saira Banu wished Aamir Khan on his 61st birthday and called him “the most gracious, thoughtful and gentle person”.Banu shared a series of pictures of the actor alongside her and late cinema star Dilip Kumar on her Instagram handle on Saturday.. “Just a few days ago, when Aamir Khan arrived to see me, accompanied by Gauri, my heart was filled with a warmth that only the presence of dear and familiar souls can bring,” she wrote.”Aamir has always been, in my experience, one of the most gracious, thoughtful and gentle person one could hope to know. His admiration for Dilip Sahib, was never merely that of an admirer from afar. It was a regard born of genuine affection that revealed itself time and again through the years…Through moments both joyous and difficult, Aamir remained close to us. During the rather complicated journey of bringing Dilip Sahib’s book to life, he extended his support with remarkable care,” she added.”In times of illness, when the hospital corridors felt particularly long and heavy, he was there as well, offering quiet companionship and a kindness that I shall never forget. It is such gestures, so unassuming yet so meaningful, that reveal the true measure of a person. Thus, when he stepped into my home a few days ago, it was not simply a visit it felt as though a beloved member of the family had come calling.”Banu concluded by addressing the “PK” actor as a wonderful human being. “On this special day, as the world celebrates your birthday, Aamir, I wish to say that while millions admire the brilliance of the artist you are, those of us who know you cherish the rare and wonderful human being you have always remained. There can truly be only one Aamir. Happy Birthday. With love, Saira,” she said.
