Saira also expressed her gratitude to her grandnieces, Anaiya and Ansharah, particularly praising Anaiya for orchestrating the event and decorating her home with joy.
“Both of them encouraged me to step out for the meal, knowing I rarely leave my house,” Saira noted. “Their presence, along with that of my family, made my 80th birthday a truly memorable occasion.”
Saira also acknowledged her friends, including actress Fareeda Jalal and Dr. Meera Agarwal, for their contributions to her happiness. “I am grateful to have friends like Fareeda Jalal, her son Yaseen, Mani Talati, Mehfooza, Shaista, Azra Lokhandwala Ji, and Moin Beg,” she said, highlighting their role in making her day special.
Concluding her reflection, Saira expressed her belief that the truest measure of life lies in the presence of family and friends, a well-set table, and the thread of love that connects us all. “There are many ways to measure life, but the most meaningful measure surrounds us with loved ones and fills us with love,” she stated.
