Saira Banu once revealed Sanjay Dutt wanted to marry her; called him a 'good-looking kid': 'Sharmila Tagore and I were...'
Sanjay Dutt
, the son of legendary actors Sunil Dutt and Nargis Dutt, has been in the spotlight for decades. Known for his powerful screen presence and resilience in real life, the 'Munna Bhai' actor has created a name for himself in Indian cinema.
But not many people know about a cute and touching moment from his childhood—when he told actress
Saira Banu
that he wanted to marry her!
Yes, long before he became one of Bollywood's most loved stars, young Sanju made this innocent and sweet declaration to Saira Banu. She once shared the heartwarming story on Instagram, and fans couldn't get enough of it.
'He has always been like family to me'
On Sanjay Dutt's birthday last year, Saira posted a nostalgic picture of him with her late husband, the iconic
Dilip Kumar
.
In the caption, she poured her heart out, remembering how close their families have always been.
She wrote,'@duttsanjay has always been like family to me. My entire family, from Ammaji to Aapaji, to Sahib, and to me, we've watched him grow from a tiny toddler into the remarkable person he is today.'
'Main Shaila Banu se shaadi karunga'
Back then, the 'Saajan' actor would often visit Saira's home with his mother, Nargis Dutt, for family functions.

Saira remembered how cute and well-mannered he was, always walking in hand with his mum.
She further shared, 'I still remember when Nargis Aapa would come to our house for functions, and he would accompany her – this cute, good-looking kid… Nargis Ji would then shake his hands and say, 'Chalo, Saira Ji ko bolo tum kya bolte ho mujhe?' And then Sanju would look at me and say, 'Main Shaila Banu se shaadi karunga' in a cute little voice. Hahahah, so adorable! I believe
Sharmila Tagore
and I were the top favorites of Sanju.'
She ended her post by saying, 'Many hands make light work. And we've all cherished being part of his journey. He holds a special place in my heart. With all my love and blessings, I wish him a very happy birthday.'
