Fans quickly reminded Saira of how stunning she still is after she shared the post.
A social media user wrote, “Ma’am, God has created you in such a way that you have been beautiful at every age and size.”.
“The entire universe adores you, and we adore you. By Allah’s grace, you still look good,” another wrote.

In another post, she shares how she convinced Dilip Kumar to wear colours in his shirts. She wrote, “Sahib preferably always wore white in this Jodhpuri collar kind of “Bush” shirts… I requested and got around him to please wear a few colour shades In his shirts… here he is laughing at me saying look! I am wearing a colour… a yellow that you like Saira… but on condition that you promise to wear fluffy Organdy sarees that make you seem more substantial! Not salwar kameez that makes me want to send you to school again!”
