Veteran actor Saira Banu walked down memory lane as she talked about several incidents about Shah Rukh Khan. Taking to Instagram on Sunday, Saira recalled the first time she met Shah Rukh Khan. Recalling an incident, she said that even though Shah Rukh was busy then, he promptly arrived at her home after she texted him. She also said how Shah Rukh was the ‘beacon of solace’ after her husband-late actor Dilip Kumar’s death.
