Saira Banu has always played a dutiful wife to her loving hubby Dilip Kumar. The 91-year old actor, who has been recently hospitalized for his ill health, has left his wife worried who is praying to have him back on his birthday.

"We hope Yusuf Sahab is home for his birthday but even if it takes longer, its fine as his health is a priority," said Saira Banu.

The thespian was admitted to a suburban hospital couple of days back after the X-rays detected bronchospasm, pneumonia patch. She further expressed her concern through words.

"Antibiotics weren't helping much. He had to be on intravenous therapy and so had to be shifted to the hospital. He is a lot better now. He has recovered but a few doses still need to be administered," she added.

She revealed that she has her prayers in place. "You know, this was my biggest fear. Everybody kept asking me about his 92nd birthday plans. I kept saying nazar mat lagao. I was a little scared. Maine Yusuf sahab ke liye sadka diya... donated money, distributed food to the poor. If he gets discharged by tomorrow (his birthday), I plan on having a quiet dinner in the house," she added.
