In an interview with India Today Digital, the actor revealed, "I have improved a lot. The clots have I Am Fine dissolved. I have to get myself fitter and into physiotherapy. I am recuperating very well, and I am fine now."

Earlier this year, she faced several health challenges, including restricted mobility, but her team confirmed that her condition has significantly improved. "She is fine now. All the above-mentioned things have happened before, but now she is much better," they stated.

Saira Banu's health struggles have persisted since the passing of her husband, legendary actor Dilip Kumar, in 2021. Reflecting on her recent hospitalization, Saira shared a poignant memory of her late husband.

In a heartfelt social media post, she wrote, “A nostalgic reminiscence from the hospital bed of my dream wedding 58 years ago. ‘Do Sitaron Ka Zameen Par Hai Milan Aaj Ki Raat’ played on the radio all night on the 11th of October, our wedding anniversary... a day I wish had never ended. If someone had told me, ‘O Saira, you’ve got wings for real; you can fly,’ I would have believed them without hesitation. That’s how surreal that day felt, 58 autumns ago.”
