The celebrity couple can be seen smiling wholeheartedly as they pose together, standing hand in hand. The foliage of the backdrop adds to the perfect setting. Dilip Kumar wearing his “favorite shirt” (as he revealed in his caption), can be seen pairing up with Saira Banu, who wears a kurta and one Dupatta over his head. The 97-year-old actor captioned the post, “Pink. Favorite shirt. God’s mercy on us all.”
