He told, “Saab has never wanted to celebrate birthdays. The last birthday we celebrated as a big event was his 89th birthday, which was in 2011 and of course, Saab enjoyed that. Dilip Saab is not a big fan of celebrating birthdays”.
Sharing updates about his health, Faisal said, “He has not fully recovered but he is making great progress. Saab is resting at home, having his meals, interacting, but obviously one of the things that the doctor has advised us to be cautious about is the infections. So, we curb the access of a lot of people to meet him”.

“Today marks the 96th birthday of an actor who revolutionised acting and set standards impossible to meet even today. The legendary @TheDilipKumar. Plan to watch one of his classics tonight with family. Sahab, aapka saaya hum sab per humesha salamat rahe. Ameen.” AZ
