Yesteryear star Asha Parekh, who once scorched the silver screen with her roles in films like Kati Patang, Teesri Manzil and Love In Tokyo, still has the never-say-die spirit as she turns 71. The actress seems content to stay away from the arc-lights but that has not stopped her from keeping in touch with her pals from the industry and she is a regular on Bollywood's social circuit. She was last spotted at the special screening of the film Phata Poster Nikla Hero with Salman Khan's family and friends in Mumbai last month.
We take a look at the life of this hauntingly beautiful actress who still exudes grace and elegance.
Asha Parekh was one of the reigning stars in the Hindi film industry from 1959 to 1973 and is said to have starred in more hit films than any other actress.She was born into a Gujarati family in Maharashtra and began her career as a child artiste under the screen name Baby Asha Parekh in the film Aasmaan in 1952. Acclaimed filmmaker Bimal Roy saw her performance during a stage show and cast her in the movie Baap Beti (1954) when she was just 12 years old. The film was a flop and Ashaji decided to take a break from the silver screen to resume schooling.
