Bollywood veteran Dilip Kumar, who has been in isolation since March, shared a million-dollar photograph of himself along with his wife and actress Saira Banu, on Twitter and it has our heart. The star couple can be seen smiling with all their hearts as they pose together, standing hand-in-hand. The foliage in the backdrop adds to the picture perfect frame. Dilip Kumar dressed in his "favourite shirt" (as revealed by him in his caption), can be seen twinning with Saira Banu, who can be seen wearing a matching kurta and a dupatta over her head. The 97-year-old actor captioned the post: "Pink. Favorite shirt. God's mercy upon all of us."

In a separate post, he requested his fans to "stay indoors as much as possible."
I am under complete isolation and quarantine due to the #CoronavirusOutbreak. Saira has left nothing to chance, ensuring I do not catch any infection.
