Saira Banu wrote, "@duttsanjay has always been like a family to me. My entire family, starting 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. I still remember when Nargis Aapa would come to our house for functions, and he would accompany her, this cute, good-looking kid."
The actress continued, "Nargis Ji would then shake his hands and say, âChalo, 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 favourites of Sanju. âMany hands make light work', and we've all cherished being part of his journey."
Saira expressed that Sanjay holds a special place in her heart, concluding with, "With all my love and blessings, I wish him a very happy birthday."
Meanwhile, Sanjay, the OG Baba of Bollywood, will be next seen in the Kannada film 'KD - The Devil'.
On his birthday, the actor unveiled the first look of his character, Dhak Deva.
The film also stars Dhruva Sarja, V. Ravichandran, Ramesh Aravind, Shilpa Shetty, Reeshma Nanaiah, Jisshu Sengupta, and Nora Fatehi.
'KD - The Devil' is set to release in theaters on November 13.
