The post was accompanied by a long and a heart-warming note that began by stating, "How do we truly measure a life? Is it measured in the milestones or those fleeting moments that quietly slip by, only to be remembered later? Maybe it’s in the anniversaries that come around each year, like an old friend who never fails to visit you. "
"If you ask me, life can be measured in many ways. I believe it’s in the company of your own people, people who love you. I consider myself blessed, graced by the affection and support of my family and friends," she further added.
Banu expressed gratitude towards BJP Vice President Bandra Assembly Rehan Ahmed, who is also the eldest son of her eldest brother and her daughter, Shaheen, for making special efforts to be in Mumbai. She revealed that Shaheen keeps traveling between Chennai and Mumbai most of the time.
The legendary actress went on to give a special mention to her grandnieces Anaiya and Ansharah, "who masterminded the whole event" and adorned the house with beautiful decorations and glowing happiness. She revealed that it was her grandnieces who insisted she step out for the meal, considering she doesn’t go out much.
Hailing her family as her "Rock of Gibraltar", she thanked them for making her 80th birthday a day to treasure. "Their mere presence was enough to fill my home with light," she wrote.
Furthermore, she thanked her friends who "bring joy" to her life including Dr Meera Agarwal, Farida Jalal, her son Yaseen, Mani Talati and Mehfooza, her daughter Shaista, Azra Lokhandwala, and Moin Beg who conceptualized Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Heeramandi. "Blessed to have them all around to make my day and life a happening one," she mentioned.
"So, how does one measure life? While there are many ways, I believe the truest measure is found in a room filled with family and friends, a table set with lots of food, and an invisible thread called love. Thank goodness for family and friends!" she wrote on a concluding note followed by a smile and red-heart emojis.
The post was swarmed with heartfelt birthday wishes from fans and followers, including Richa Chadha. Several fans dropped red-heart and heart-eye emojis in the comments section.
